Representatives of CCNJ and non-member clubs al- so attend. You, as a member club dancer, are welcome to join these meet- ings to express your views, ask questions, make suggestions or just to observe the proceedings; however, only the Designated Delegates have the authority to vote. At our meeting this past September a query was distributed by LEGACY.. ..."To help keep square dancing the way you like it". Each Club President received a reprint of CALLERLAB's revision of Basics, Extended Basics, Mainstream and the probability of combining M/S-1 and M/S-2 into an over- all M/S level. We asked that this be discussed with executive boards and to return the resulting comments and suggestions. In the Fall issue of C/ S there was a Mini-Festival questionaire so that this NNJSDA sponsored e- vent would be as you like it in '82. The number of responses to these three items while not overwhelming, was encouraging your interest and concern was very strongly expressed. Thank you for finding time to respond. We appreciate your letters...keep them coming...we received many ideas for recruitment of new dancers; many questions and suggestions regarding GRAND SQUARE; we have been asked for advice on how to handle Callers who don't stay within the dance level ad- vertised by the club; how to retain our dancers, especially our new dancers. Many of the questions were answered at the Delegates Meetings, some of our dance clubs already have formulated programs in answer to some questions or problems that were raised. Your Delegates are dedicated and have indicated a very thorough under- standing of where we are and what direction is best to be followed by the Square Dance activity. Show your Delegates you appreciate the time and effort they give so willingly....give them the opportunity to share with club members the whys and wherefores of their meetings. The more informed you are of actions and reactions in our square dance area....the more you will enjoy square dancing share your thinking about the S/D activity with us, with your Delegates, and with your club officers COMMUNICATE Let us Communicate Fun and Friendship at the CLINT LcLEAN SPECIAL on JANUARY 30, 1982
50 Fo&t Place, Apt 5A Staten laand, New Volth 10301 212 -445 -2737 Several years ago the Delegates voted to establish an "Emergency Loan Program" for clubs in financial difficulties. A committee composed of the NNJSDA Treasurer, presidents from Covered Bridge Squares, Hill City & Rich- mond Dancers & chaired by NNJSDA 3rd VP's has been activated by our NNJSDA presidents at the request of Hanover Squares. 2 BELLES ANV BEAUX -- Gten Rock, N.J.

Our new ha!: (see hedding) is simply great! And almost as easy to lo- cate! A much cozier, friendlier atmosphere prevailed at our last dances as we welcomed Tom Miller 8 Wes Morris to our area. And how nice not to battle the shopping mall traffic. While the VFW parking lot is small, the surrounding streets are ok for parking. And more good news....our presi- dent Lee Venable is ok after his hospitalization and back on the dance floor. Remember rounds at 8 with the Tirrells and guest callers at 8:30.

COVERED BRIDGE SQUARES -- Nuttey, N.J. 1 2 g 4 Faidays Taankan Reptmed Chuach, fikttskde Crescent If nothing else, we've been having fun at all our dances, For instance at our Halloween Dance there were 9 men dressed as women & 4 women dressed as men. Four husky six-footers in drag danced to the tune of "Let Me En- tertain You." They were a howling success. Janice Ahearn's sheep costume was judged the most original. At another dance, besides cake, juice 8 other goodies, we were treated to frankfuters with all the trimminas. In October we filled a chartered bus which took us to a train in Conn. & then a boat trip on the Conn. River. The day was capped by an excellent smor- gasbord prepared especially for us in a restaurant. Our Raid Chairman, Lee/George Leonard's, have led us on 2 raids & have scheduled 2 more lh the future. By the time you read this, we will have had our Xmas Dance to which our students have been invited. After Xmas comes *he New Year, so at this time we wish all dancers "A Year of Happy Square Dancing," (See oua ad on page 22.) CtaAa/NoAxa EmbeA 201-759-NW 7 CROSS TRAIL SQUARES Cadged -Z, N.J.

This winter we'll have Will Larsen, Paul Brody, Mike Cleary and Dick Pas- yolsky calling as well as friendly people to dance with and tasty treats to tempt you. With an assist from caller Mike Foley, we gave "1982" a warm welcome at our annual New Year's Eve party. More than 50 couples participated in the dancing and fun and games. Why don't you plan now to join us next year. The club is looking forward to a number of "demos" this winter. Especially our second annual visit to the Methodist Manor in Branchville, a senior citizens home. Our visit last year was truly appre- ciated and we, in turn, enjoyed being there. Following the demo we plan to go, as a group, to the beautiful Walipack Inn for dinner.

It will be BALTIMORE IN '84 (June 28,29 & 30) for the thousands of dancers coming from all over the US, Canada & Foreign countries for the 33rd National S/D Convention. The host federation is the Mason-Dixon S/D Federation. General Chairmen are Peter "J" & Jen- nie Zukauskas (pronounced Zoo-Cows-Cue, as Jennie ex- plains. Peter "J" & Jennie are now newcomers to this type of committee work. In 1977 they were an el- normous help to the 26th National in Atlantic City (they did the Clam Bake) & thruout the years have worked on numerous projects in their local federation. ! Vic/Peg Wills, Chr. of the 16th National in Philly & Steve/Dorothy Musial, Chr. of the 26th in Atlantic City are their advisors from the National Executive Committee. Because the theme elint took place during the war of 1812, the conven- tion will have colonial overtones. Generally the theme will incorporate the flag & Fort McHenry, the birthplace of our National Anthem. A specially designed costume is used to promote the convention within the federation and neighboring federations/associations as well. See the above pix of the Zukauskas with Doc Tirrell taken at a NSDC. The costume functions much like a logo or trademark which is used to identify a pro- duct, service or evert. The costume is optional, however it is worn by those who wish to show their support. The costume colors, dark blue on light blue ,Tare flattering to at least 90% of the people wearing it. Pat- terns are available from Mary Strickland 4227 Thorncliff Rd.,Baltimore,MD 21236 sizes 8 thru 20 for $1.50 or $2. by mail. Packets of material are available from Jennie Zukauskas 314 East Broadway, Bel Air, MD 21014 for $22 (which include the lace cap worn on ladies head & man's tie). Spare caplets at $1 & ties at $1.25 are also available. For non sewers, Hannelore's (ad on p. 41) has some dresses already made up. It is not necessary to have a convention dress, but it does show your support. Al- ready quite a few NNJSDA area dancers/callers have been seen wearing the official outfits. The Tirrells will be serving as NNJSDA liaison to keep you up on the de tails of our neighboring federation's convention. Also helping them to spread the word thruout our area will be our Executive Board members. Our BALTIMORE in '84 BOOSTER BALL is planned for Saturday, July 24, 1982. More on this, & other convention info, in the next issue. If you have any questions please feel free to contact your NNJSDA officers or Tirrells. 31th NSDC - June 24,25,26, 1982 - Detroit, Michigan 32nd NSDC - June 23,24,25, 1983 - Louisville,Kentucky AIN DOVER-CHESTER RD.
