Hi Everyone,
I can’t believe September is half gone already. The weather’s starting to feel like Fall, at least some. I hope you are back to whatever passes for normal schedules with school, work, or whatever.
In case you haven’t heard the news, Sandy Garrish suffered a stroke several months ago during her dance at Hawks. She was in a rehab facility for several months. Most recently she spent some time in the hospital again where she got much more therapy. She is back in the assisted living situation near Liberty Reservoir. Navigation of the workings of the medical system is giving her a hard time (insurance, etc). A GoFundMe page was started to help her with expenses. Her job has been teaching dancing, so not working means no money coming in. Sandy is a very sweet person and has done so much for dancing in the area. She shares her time for good causes as well. If you’re interested in donating, check https://www.gofundme.com/f/sandy-needs-our-help-lets-support She has a great group of friends who are keeping an eye on her. She looks forward to visitors. Hopefully, she’ll be recovered from this soon. All of her regular dances are still going on, with others covering for her. All of her dances are currently being covered by other Djs & instructors, so please keep attending them. She is very appreciative of the support she’s gotten from the many people in the dance community.
Please remember to keep dancing! Those dance locations sometimes disappear if attendance drops too much. Also, if you’re dancing in a bar or restaurant, they expect you to buy something, not just dance for free. They are not in business to provide you with a good time for free.
Please note that the differences in font and appearance of various events is not my intention. For some reason, copying and pasting causes issues with my word processing and moving it to this site. It all looks the same to me on my document and then when copied here, it changes. It's annoying, but I have not figured out what to do about it, short of retyping the entire document, which I'm not going to do.
Because snow is not the only thing that sometimes cancels events, please know the cancellation policy of the events you attend. Several go with what the schools do in the country they are in for weather events, so you need to know what county. If the organizer of your favorite events have a contact list, get on it, Many use Facebook, so if you don’t have that, you may need to depend on others.
The calendar page was updated a while ago, but was outdated almost as soon as I updated it. If there are things missing or incorrect, please let me know. I generally put things in that happen on a regular basis so that I don’t need to update too often.
Feel free to fill me in on whatever you know is happening that I don’t have listed here If you send info, please give me as much as you can about it, including where to find the information so that I may update later.
I don’t include weekly band information for the clubs that have bands as it is frustrating and time-consuming. So, if you’re interested in what band is where, you’ll need to check the clubs’ websites or Facebook pages. If there are bands you follow, you can check their pages as well.
