FROMTHE year we are offering a special deal of $85 for the


ADMINISTRATORS weekend. This is a great deal and it should be
an especiallyfun year. Andy Shore is a great
CORNER caller and will be lots of fun. Mike and Jim have
promised an all new improved camp with lots of
The Awards surprises.
Dance was quite
successful. lt was There are many more activities already
a real pleasure to scheduled, and many more in the formulating
see so many stages. So, my hopes for the New Year is that
friends enjoying we willall continue to be healthy, active in the
great calling. The club, stop the back biting and bickering, and
attendance was above all DON'T STOP.DON'T SLOW DOWN!
not as great as I was hoping, but it was great
dancing to our local/club callers. I really enjoyed
giving the awards and want everyone that I ANGEL ISLAND
appreciate each and every member of this club.
