May Updates





 
 
 
 
 
 
Square Dance Updates
May 10, 2017
 
 It’s May and it looks like the weather is starting to change.  We’ve been lucky enough to be able to golf the last two Sundays.  A great chance for us to walk off the weekend.  Between the Mt. Baker Council Dance and Teen Festival, we’ve had a great couple of weekends. 
 
Thanks to all of you who came down to Stanwood to the Mt Baker Council Dance (those of you who stayed with us at the hotel, and those who came down for the evening).  We had a great time visiting with you all and we know the Mt. Baker Council was so happy to have all of you there.  We’ve put a great video up on Steve’s Facebook page, so follow the link below and you can have a look at it if you haven’t already seen it.  (you don’t have to have Facebook to check out the Facebook page).
 
The Pacific Northwest Teen Square Dance Festival was this past Saturday and was again very successful.  Congratulations to all the winners, but as always, our hearts lie with the Wesburn Wranglers and they had a very successful festival, with a number of winners among their members. 
 
We have started our spring workshop programs and they started with a bang, a large turnout for the Surrey Square Wheelers Hash and Breaks on Tuesdays and Steve’s A-Teach on Wednesdays. 
 
As always, let me know if you have any questions or need any more information.
 
Check out Steve’s Facebook page to see what’s going on.
 
 
See you somewhere soon!

Circle 8 Ranch – August 18-20, 2017 – Steve Edlund, Steve Noseck and Debbie & Paul Taylor
 
This is truly one of our favourite places to go for a square dance weekend. It’s located in the mountains east of Seattle, and while sometimes the day is warm, the nights are perfect for dancing. Beautiful spots to put your RV in the meadow with water and electricity available. Cle Elum and the hotels and motels are just a few miles down the road. This is our 30th year calling at Circle 8 Ranch and Steve is looking forward to sharing the program with our good friend Steve Noseck. We’ve been fortunate to share the program with so many good friends over the years


 
September 10-24, 2017 – Canada/New England Cruise
 
THIS SHIP IS ALMOST SOLD OUT.   IF YOU WERE THINKING OF JOINING US – GET IN TOUCH WITH ME BEFORE IT’S COMPLETELY SOLD OUT.
Our next big group trip will be a 14 Day Cruise through New England and Eastern Canada on Celebrity Cruise Lines.
We’re excited to spend a few days in New York before we leave on the cruise…if you’re interested, let me know.
 The Celebrity Summit is a perfect sized ship for a group, with just slightly over 2000 passengers, it is easy to run into your travel companions for a visit, or a drink, or a meal.
We have confirmed dancing space and times for our sea days. We will be dancing in the mornings in the beautiful Revelations Lounge at the very front of the ship.  It has a large dance floor that will be just perfect for us.  Think about joining us! 
 
We will be having the 6:00 dinner seating with Round Robin seating (which means you can sit at different tables with different members of our group each night, you won’t be restricted to the same table and the same people).  Dining like this is a great way to get to know everyone you are travelling with. 
 
Remember the sooner you book, the better the pricing – this cruise only goes 3 times in the fall and fills up quickly – book sooner rather than later for the best pricing, the best choice in cabins.  Deposit is 100% refundable until June 2017.

We’re hoping that Spring is finally here!

 

It's been 2 months since I've sent out an email with updates of where we are going and what we are up to.  The time has just slipped away, and it's getting close to the end of our regular dance season, but there are so many things going on, we don't want you to miss out.

 

We'd love to see you out on a Friday Night at Royal Swingers – we had a large visitation from the Surrey Square Wheelers last week, so think about Friday night – and don't forget the covered parking.

 

Check out Steve’s Facebook page to see what’s going on.

As always, let me know if you have any questions or need any more information.

 

See you somewhere soon.

 

Thanks
Lynnette
