Paws and Taws members and friends –

 

Paws and Taws is pleased to announce that the third dance every month will start this Friday, October 18!  Dance format will be different from the 2nd and 4th dances:

7:00 to 7:30pm - Mainstream workshop

7:30 to 8:30pm - Mainstream dance

8:30 to 9:30pm - Plus dance

No rounds or lines, just square dancing.

Joe Arnold will be calling.  The Mainstream dancing will especially be directed to those who may have been away from dancing recently.  The Plus dancing is to give the students in our ongoing Plus class additional floor time – not exactly “student level” and only a limited subset of the calls as they have been introduced to all the calls, but will be concentrated on the more common ones.

 

Interesting in learning to round dance?  Tom and Cindy Bunn teaching a Beginning Rumba/Cha Cha class at Senior Solutions on Tuesdays from 5:30 to 6:45pm.  Contact them at 864-723-6965 or TomAndC...@gmail.com for details.

P.S.  Upcoming dances of note - see calendars at the link above for dance times and location addresses, and flyers where noted.  And a heads up from Southern Lights regarding their progress on finding a new dance venue:

 

From: Eva House

Subject: Southern Lights

 

The bad news is Southern Lights will not have any dances in December.  Whitmire is not available now and it will not be available for some time.  The good news is we have two venues lined up for next year.  Final negotiations are ongoing.  Unfortunately, they are currently booked with Christmas parties.  Stay tuned.  We look forward to dancing again.  We send our heartfelt sympathy to those affected by Helene and send wishes for a speedy recovery.

 

See you next year

High Mountain Squares Benefit Dance: Sunday, February 16 at the Robert C. Carpenter Community Building, 441-S, Franklin, NC.

From: Betty Fisher

Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2024 8:42 AM

 

Friends, this message tells it all.   PLEASE see that your clubs save the date of February 16 for a benefit for our friends and High Mountain Squares members Doug and Jerie Stoddard, victims of Helene’s flooding.  Thank you for sharing your heart with them!

 

WHAT:    “Heart to Heart” Benefit Square/Round Dance for Helene flood victims Doug and Jerie Stoddard

WHEN:    Sunday, February 16, 2025 from 2:00 to 4:30pm.

WHERE:  Robert C. Carpenter Community Building, US 441-S, Franklin, NC

WHY:      The Stoddards lost valuable possessions and the use of their house when Helene flooded their property.  They have been living in a motel until this week when they transferred to a FEMA camper for an indefinite time.  Reconstruction on their property is moving slowly.

WHO:     Mike Cox, Randy Ramsey, and Richard Smith will provide continuous square and round dancing.

HOW:     With generosity from your heart to the Stoddards’ hearts.  Generous donations are greatly appreciated!

 

Christmas blessings,

Betty @ High Mountain Squares
