MEMBER NEWS
Just to demonstrate that your faithful staff spends its time trying to
locate new materials for you and new music for the dances. Following are
pictures of them hard at work running every lead with armed protection.

The following are some examples of our
dancers being role models for people their age as well as the younger
generations by performing at churches, schools, nursing homes, etc.


Performance at Farmington Presbyterian Church
Following photos were made by Ed Wankowski, who was one of the dancers and is
not in the pictures. These pictures were made at Asbury United Methodist
Church's neighborhood Carnival church outreach. Good band and good dancers - we
got a lot of the onlookers up dancing.
