Subject: Saturday, May 22 dance at the Pinellas Park Schoolhouse
         (St. Petersburg, Florida area)
From: Barbara (fletch...@yahoo.com)
This Saturday is Bill Beckett's annual party, where we will dance from 10 am to 2 pm. Bill will play a rotation of music, to provide dancing fun for Beginners, Easy Intermediate and Intermediate. This is not a workshop, where each dance is thoroughly taught, however there will be one or two wall walk-thrus as a refresher, for those who know the dance. A few new dances will be "taught" by teachers attending.
This is always a fun time to get together and not only dance, but meet with friends from other classes. Bring your own snacks (or lunch) and snd drinks (no alchohol). Bottled water will be available for sale.
The Pinellas Park Schoolhouse Auditorium, has a wonderful wood floor for dancing and is easy to reach from all directions.
Y'all come! The ticket fee it ONE DOLLAR.

Subject: Dance For The Cure in Calgary
 
From:
dnu...@telusplanet.net
 
Saturday May 15 was the first ” Dance for the Cure” event held in Calgary. Organized by Ann Nuell and  held at Ranchman’s on Macleod Trail, six instructors took part along with 100 dancers and a few good spectators. Pledge forms for the Canadian Cancer Society, a small silent auction and money raised at the door provided nearly $5600.00 towards the fight against cancer.
 
 
 
Marie McLeod, Mary Rochfort, Sue Hall, Carolyn Yurek and Lauren McLean all lead dances along with Ann Nuell and with the support of dancers from their classes this was an exciting and rewarding first attempt.
 
 
 
Thanks to all who attended and supported this endeavour.

ABOUT NELOL: The Northeast Ladies of Line For Arthritis (NELOL4AF) is an annual benefit event.  It was founded in 2004 and sanctioned by The Arthritis Foundation MA Chapter in 2006.
IT IS a dual purpose event.  First,  it exist to raise much needed research dollars for treatment of the many forms of Arthritis that plague over 77 million Americans - of which over 300,000 are children.  Also, monies raised help fund free educational programs and materials - lots of educational materials on treatment/ pain management and research on the various forms of Arthritis - will be available at NELOL.  For all about the Arthritis Foundation, please go to www.arthritis.org.  Secondly, NELOL4AF exists to promote, acknowledge and recognize those ladies behind the scenes who tirelessly promote line dance in their communities - the ladies who hold weekly classes, organize dance events and who encourage their dancers to travel to all the Line Dance Events - "the soldiers" as they are known to NELOL4AF. Each year 12 Ladies/"Soldiers" are invited to share their love of dancers from all over the Northeast and to meet their fellow Ladies of Line.
Note: If you teach anywhere in Northeastern US including New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and would like to be listed with The Northeast Ladies of Line for Arthritis, please contact Forty at forty....@gmail.com.  To be listed with NELOL, you must currently be running/teaching a WEEKLY line dance program in your community and have been teaching line dance for at least 1 year (as of 12/31/09).
The Arthritis Foundation, MA Chapter and FOTAF are forever grateful for the overwhelming support it has received from the line dance community. We thank the Ladies whom have given their time and efforts and the Event Directors, NELOL’s, Vendors and Dancers for their generous gifts and support over the years.  We could not have done it without you.  Thank you for sharing your blessings.
Forty and (FOTAF) Friend Of The Arthritis Foundation

SUBJECT:  NEW Country Waltz to debut at JG Marathon  
FROM:  Steve Lescarbeau
    Hey everyone!  Can't believe that the JG Marathon is just over a week away!  I will be teaching two classes this year.  One of them will be "3", a fast paced 32 count Intermediate dance with one 4 count tag done to Britney Spears, "3".  In my other class I'm very excited to show my new dance, "Don't Let Go"  It's a phrased 48 count - 4 wall Intermediate to High Intermediate Waltz to yet another beautiful Lady Antebellum song; "Can't Take My Eyes Off You".  This dance has 3 restarts and 1 - 18 count bridge, with a few different steps. 
    Looking forward to dancing with everyone soon.  Hope to see you in one of my classes, at the Carol's cookie party, by the pool, at the bar, etc.  But I will see you at checkin.  Safe travels.

SUBJECT:  Barrie, Ontario Canada Workshop
FROM:  Joanne Brady
joeb...@hotmail.com
 
First, a very heartfelt Thank You to all my Canadian Dancing Friends.  And another to my American Dancing Friends (The Buffalo Group & Sue & Maureen from Valley Forge, PA) who drove to Barrie, Ontario to spend the weekend with John Robinson and Me!  The Canadians always welcome me with open arms and remind me what partying is all about. 
 
Shirley Robinson was our event director and as usual, everything went off perfectly, without a hitch!  And her 'other half', Larry, was there to do just about anything we asked for, including trying to find me UNSWEETED ICED TEA......not happening in Canada; well except for the Toronto Airport on my way home. (smile)
 
This was her 2nd reunion workshop.  In 2007 Shirley did a 10 year reunion and it went so well with wonderful reviews that she did ANOTHER reunion workshop this year.
Lynn Warden was our DJ for the weekend starting with a 4 hour dance on Friday night.  On Saturday the workshop doors opened around 9:15 am and closed just about 1:00 am.
 
It was a FUN day, to say the least, because John is always full of so much energy.....and unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I feed off of that! 
 
It was also flattering to John, Shirley and me to have 13 Canadian instructors and 2 or 3 American instructors attend the workshop.  Several of them said they got lots of material to use and I picked up 5 new dances from them while open dancing both nights.
 
What a huge surprise when I looked up and saw Croc and Hope come through the door!  WOW, the memories we share......and not 10 minutes later, in come that Sudbury goup.  Just about the time I finished hugging them in comes Dan Morrison and on and on; it was a thrill for me personally to see all of them again.  Along with our Wasaga Beach team with Val and 1/2 of the Double Trouble Team!   I don't want to take up another paragraph so I'll stop here!!!  We have all worked and danced together for nearly 17 years and spent some time sharing lots of memories.....some I had hoped never to be reminded of again (thank you Dan & Val).  But thanks to each of you who supported the workshop.

Well – I can’t wipe the smile off my face, attended a workshop in Barrie, ON, CANADA with Joanne Brady and John Robinson on May 15th.  Thrill of a lifetime for a linedancer – dancing Dangerous with Mr. Showcase himself.  These 2 together are wonderfully full of energy, laughter, wit, if you haven’t already checked out Joanne’s “What’s on the Menu” and John’s “So Sexxy” – you should.  John’s sidekick Chris – also a great addition to their “show”.  Shirley Robinson, you did an awesome job of organizing this, I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day (too bad I could only make it for the day) but Thank You.  I hope that more workshops like this can be arranged.

Rick's single, 'MISSING PERSON' released TODAY, MAY 17TH!
 

Thanks to recent TV appearances, BBC Radio 2 and celebrity supporters: The 'Missing Person' single campaign has so far been a huge success. Please help us continue the good work by buying the single today. (It's only 79p!) The entire profits of the single go to the Alzheimer's Society. I'm sure you know someone with the disease, either someone very close or in a friend's family, I lost my Mum to Alzheimer's and as an ambassador for the Society I'm doing all I can for them through my music. Please, do something wonderful, for the price of a Mars Bar or a can of Coke you can raise funds and awareness for this terrible disease that will affect us all directly or indirectly in our lives.
 
If you are unable to use downloaded music please purchase the CD album from Amazon, as a substantial donation is made to the Alzheimer's Society from the sale of every copy.
