Club Chair Report Cheryl Palucchi & Anne-Marie Boucher

May 10 – Border City Squares 45^th Anniversary Dance. Vivian & Bill Thompson and Mary & Dave Raymond were hostess/host’s for this dance. They did a fantastic job decorating the hall for this special dance. We want to especially thank the decorating committee, which included Vivian Thompson, Mary Raymond, Anne-Marie Boucher, Cheryl Palucchi, Tami Dorris, Paula Finamore and Cecelia Kendig who spent weeks prior to the dance meeting to make the decorations. We also want to thank all of those club members who helped with the setup of not one but two halls, including Chris Howard, Wayne & Priscilla Griffin, Paula Finamore, Pauline O’Connor, Debbie Coit, Penny Guild, Steve White, Preston Walsh and Tami Dorris and those who stayed and helped take down those same two halls. We also were very proud of our food table for this dance. There was so much great food and very little was left at the end of the night to be taken home.

We had a great turn out which included the most callers assembled on one stage performing at the same time that anyone I spoke to can every remember. These included Jim and Joann Mayo, Joe and Phyllis Casey (Jim and Joe were the callers for the evening), Bob and Norma Silva, Phil and Sandi Gatchell (Norma and Phil were our cuers for the evening), Ray and Carol Aubut, Johnny and Barbara Wedge, Patty and Steve Greene, Ray Hilton, May ‘Yikes’ Cameron and Dave Lamoureaux. We also had both presidents from EDSARDA, Bob and Louise Griffin, and NSSARDA, Bob and Barbara Graybill in attendance.

Clubs in attendance included Heel and Toe with 21 members; Single Squares with 12 members; Pepperell Squares with 9 members; 35 guests and Border City Squares with 41 members, which included two of our newest class members who were able to join in the dancing and did very well. Everyone we spoke with had a great time and enjoyed reminiscing about old times.

Our next dance is Saturday, June 14 with Tami Dorris as the hostess and the theme is January in June. This is a mainstream dance with 2 plus tips and our caller will be Johnny Wedge with Marilyn Rivenburg cueing. Setup time will be at 12:30 pm on Saturday for anyone who would like to help. We appreciate all the help from those who take time from their Saturday to come help.
