For their honeymoon Harli and Robb spent a week in London, England. The following week their children joined them for a week at Disney World.

Best wishes and congratulations to Harli and Rob.

We had 19 members of Border City Squares in attendance. Concord Coach brought 11 dancers, and the Wolf Rockers sent 8 dancers to retrieve their banners. Turkey Town and Sea Coast sent 14 and 11 dancers for their raids, and Happy Time Squares brought four dancers and "borrowed" one dancer from the Hayloft and two from Heel and Toe to make up 7 dancers for their raid. We also had two guests from the Bradford Country Squares.

THANK YOU!! to everyone who stayed after the dance to help with cleanup and setup for the church event which was held on the Sunday after our dance. I am not at all sure what happened to our communications with Infant Jesus Church. I know they knew we were dancing that night, and I had already been told about the need for setting up the chairs in front of the stage. However the last-minute requirement to set up all the additional tables came as a total surprise. Your cheerful cooperation in response to this unexpected need says great things about our club.

Our Next Border City Squares dance will be on November 8^th, and the caller will be Matt Auger and the cuer will be Barbara Nutting. This will be a plus level dance. No one from the club has volunteered to host this dance, so there will be no theme. We will still need food for hungry dancers, and if you can help with setup, please plan to be at the Infant Jesus hall at 12:30 that day.

PLEASE HELP! In addition to not having a host for the upcoming November dance, we need a host for the May 8^th dance which will be a Mainstream dance with Suptei Rogers and Phil Gatchell. It would be nice if someone besides board members would give us a hand by volunteering.

Border City Raids & Retrievals

We would appreciate your help to get the word out. Our decision to teach again and where to teach was late in coming so we haven't been able to advertise as well as we would have liked.

Our best to all of you,

Ed and Corinne Renauld

From Townsend Center (intersection of Routes 119 and 13). - West on 119 for approx 3 miles (about 5 minutes)
½ mile past the VFW go left on Pearl Brook Rd
4^th house on the left (the only ranch house)

There was a great turnout for this years Halloween dance. We had several class and club members in costume and a great time was had by all. It was great to see so many club members turn out for the dance. I also want to thank everyone for all the help with setup, take down, and refreshments. It made my job much easier that night.

I would like to ask the club for some help with refreshments on Monday nights. As most of you know, the club is losing money most Monday nights to hold the lessons, so I basically have only the money we raise through coffee sales to help cover the costs of snacks, half and half for coffee, and ice each week. If one or two club members would be willing to bring in a little something for goodies each week, then there will be more for everyone to snack on.

Thanks for your help!
