But we also much "big business" as industrial can see that unless "someone" steps in fact-finding was some years ago.

So, let's give new insights into our activities. start on the premise that a creative When we look at what makes a club has the support of its members, group "creative", we are convinced and that increased creativity will that square dance clubs need this increase that support. quality in order to survive. And What do we expect from a creative looking the other way 'round, at clubs organization? There are several things, that have continued over the years, we which we didn't always call creative; see that they are "creative".

A great First, we expect creative groups to deal depends on the attitudes of attract active recruits as members. dancers in the club having officers Secondly, a creative organization will who vow to view proposals with an produce income, over and above the open mind is one big step.
