K, I lied. June’s was not my last article, this one is. OTh ought you had already gotten rid of me, hug?! HA!! I truly want to, once again, thank everyone who helped me the past three years with putting together FOOTNOTES online. It was wild ride. And I couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you, from “my staff ” to the clubs, councils and all the extra people who sent in articles, ads and pictures. I will actually miss putting this magazine together, but it’s time for a break. It was great working with everyone and getting the online version go- ing. I also want to thank Cynda for taking on this task. It’s not always easy, but I know that she will do an awesome job with the magazine. Th e last two issues of last year she, pretty much, did on her own. She is picking up very fast. And has some great ideas for new and fun stuff to keep the magazine interesting for you readers. So keep checking it out each and every month. Take care everyone and we will see you out and about. Kathy (the Brat) & Frank Chase.

So, that is why for the fi rst twenty years we eat, sleep, play, enjoy and do nothing; for the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family; for the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain our grandchildren; and for the last ten years we sit in front of the house and bark at everybody.

hanks Margaret Kiser for inviting me to be the 2018-19 Th e Round of the Month for September is “Codi- TRound Dance Chairman. It was an honor to be in- go” by Ron and Georgine Woolcock. Other dances which volved in this way. Th e Round Dance Committee members were considered were “Blue Finger Lou (Phase II)” by Mike I’ve worked with have been very responsive and helpful. and Michelle Seurer, and “Let Me Be Th ere” by Connie I appreciate the help they have provided. Next year your Ritchie. Round Dance Chairmen will be Bob and Linda Berka. I know they will do a great job.
Northwest Round Dance Teachers Association, a member of our federation, sponsored a Cuer Seminar at Circle 8 Ranch in late June. Randy & Rose Wulf and Ron & Georgine Woolcock, both offi cers of the association, did a lot of the organization for the seminar and were seminar presenters. Th e featured clinicians were nationally known John and Karen Herr. Th ey facilitated discussions on many important topics of interest to cuers of all experience levels. A signifi cant number of relatively new cuers participated. It was wonderful to see the talent that these cuers bring to our area. Networking with other cuers was a favorite part of the seminar for me. Preliminary plans are in the works for another seminar sometime during the summer of 2021. Cuers, make plans to attend. Clubs and councils, consider sponsoring a new cuer by paying the registration fee and/ or expenses.
Th e state asked me to update the guidelines of the Round Dance Chairman. Th ey still refl ected a time when most of our communication was via snail mail rather than e-mail, and music was available primarily on vinyl rather than in digital form. I was not able to complete this task. I am however, forwarding my initial recommendations to Advertise Bob and Linda Berka. I hope they will be willing to com- your awesome plete the process and forward the recommendations to the Club, Dance, Business Federation. in FOOTNOTES

As I walked around the dance fl oor and looked to the seating areas, I was relieved that Marsha Sullivan there were fewer dancers sitting and waiting to be asked to dance than at previous festivals I have attended.
Possibly one of the reasons is that we have so many more dancers who can dance as either a belle or a beau. In looking at the registration forms, approx- imately one-third of the dancers registered as a solo. Many of these registrations, I am sure, were dancers who had a partner who registered separately, but most of the regular “coupled” solos used the same form and paid together. They were not included in the one-third count. This is a huge number, and one that all clubs and councils should take into consideration when doing their planning.
I also heard several concerns about not having information on the solo lunch and dinner announced in time to get the word out to everyone. This is a legitimate 24 | FOOTNOTES www.squaredance-wa.org SEPTEMBER 2019 YYOUTHOUTH CCOORDINATOROORDINATOR Caleb Hatch 425-229-0418 [email protected]

Just a gentle reminder about the big change in our ‘lesson’ and ‘club dance’ nights. The Rhody O’s Mainstream lesson night is on Thursday evening while the PLUS and ‘A’ clubs dance on Tuesday evening. This change was made last June and has been very successfulfor both clubs. The Rhody O Clubs’ dance night will remain on the 1st and 3rd Friday of every month. Now - if that last paragraph didn’t confuse you, I can try again. Basical- ly, Rhody O lesson night is on Thursday and the Club dance night is on the 1st and 3rd Fridays - all held at the Gardiner Community Center. Our Friday evening dances will start with pre-rounds at 6:30 with cuer Spike Reid and Mainstream dancing with caller Thell Rooney from 7:30-9:30pm The Rhody O Square Dance Club will off er weekly Mainstream lessons beginning on Thursday, Sept. 12th, with our caller Thell Rooney. Start time is 7:30 at the Gardiner Community Center. The fi rst lesson is free and includes an Ice Cream Social! ! Lessons are open to singles, couples and families. Come try something new and fun! Then on Thursday, Sept. 19th, the Rhody O’s will off er Waltz lessons with cuer Spike Reid.

Our sum- mer saw many great things happening - we had a rummage sale to earn money to help with our beautiful dance hall expenses, celebrated Memorial Day, preparing to be active with a booth at the Kitsap County Fair and demonstrate to all the fair goers our art of dancing by smiling, then getting ready to celebrate Labor Day and we had many guest callers out of our area bring in some great dance times for all to enjoy. Take time at the next dance to say hello to ev- eryone and to remember those who have passed onto the great dance fl oor in the skies and those who can’t dance with us anymore because of health problems. Then take a pledge to get out and talk to all your friends about joining a square dance class and let them enjoy all the fun that we have at each dance. Fun is a word that is very important to us because it has you in the middle - each of us make it a fun time by becoming great friends and supporter of one another.
