CHOREOGRAPHED BALLROOM DANCE ASSOCIATION Welcome ICBDA Convention Attendees Sally and I want to thank you for such a rousing successful attendance at this convention. We are sure you will enjoy yourselves immensely. The venue at the Grand Sierra Resort here in Reno is nothing like any other convention. When the convention is over we are sure you will agree. If you need anything, please call upon Sally and I to help, direct, and explain anything about the convention and the venue. ICBDA is your organization. Probably the most important thing you can do is to fill out the survey online when you get home. We really take these surveys to heart. Sometimes, in saying that, we admit that some suggestions are not feasible at the present time, but we still see if we can use the suggestions in the future. One such suggestion from last year is to establish a Singles Section in each hall. That is being done!! Again, thank you for your attendance, Bob and Sally Nolen 37th ICBDA Convention Chaircouple PAGE 1 INTERNATIONAL CHOREOGRAPHED BALLROOM DANCE ASSOCIATION Welcome to Reno-Tahoe, Nevada Welcome to the 37th Annual Convention of the International Choreographed Ballroom Dance Association. Paul and I, the ICBDA Board and all the convention committees are so excited you are sharing this week with us. It is great to be back on the West Coast! Please help us make you feel welcome, ask questions and take advantage of the excellent talent available, all week long. The teaching, dancing and friendships we enjoy with fellow dancers from all different backgrounds and different parts of the world, give us a great recreation to share together. Our annual convention contributes to the advancement of our dancing passion, and we thank all of you for your support. ICBDA is a 100% volunteer organization. It takes a large number of dedicated individuals who come together and work very hard to make sure the convention is a success. A special thanks to Bob and Sally Nolen, our General Chaircouple, and their committees who are working to make this an outstanding convention. As an attendee of the convention, you are a member, and we would like to have your input at the Annual General Membership Meeting (AGM). This meeting allows the members (you) to be updated on issues and to participate in the organization’s business. This year is another year of firsts: First time in Reno, first time dancing on competitive ballroom wood floors, and first time the RV Park is part of the resort. We hope you enjoy Reno. Please provide feedback to us by filling out the convention survey online at www.icbda.com. It is your organization, and the ICBDA Board is always working to provide a better convention. Your input will help us do that. While you are in the Reno-Tahoe area, be sure to take some time to enjoy some of the many attractions in the area. We hope you have a great time at this year’s convention. Keep Smiling and Dancing, Linda and Paul Robinson ICBDA Presidents PAGE 2 PAGE 3 Reno – A Bit of History – and – Things to Do In 1859, Charles Fuller built a log bridge across the Truckee River and charged a fee to those who passed over it on their way to Virginia City and the gold recently discovered there. Fuller also provided gold-seekers with a place to rest, purchase a meal, and exchange information with other prospectors. In 1861, Myron Lake purchased Fuller's bridge and with the money from the tolls, bought more land and constructed a gristmill, livery stable, and kiln. On May 9, 1868, the town site of Reno (named after Civil War General Jesse Reno) was officially established. Today with its beautiful Riverwalk District, downtown whitewater kayak park, popular events and easy access to unlimited outdoor adventure, the bustling city of Reno has come a long way from its early beginnings. Originally a small community known as Lakes Crossing that popped up to serve westward travelers, the town enjoyed growth from railroad extensions, legalized casino gambling, liberal divorce laws and, eventually, economic diversification beyond gaming. Today Reno has a lot going on for locals and visitors alike. Reno has been called “America’s Adventure Place” and that has as much to do with what can be done in town as well as outside of it. Downtown Reno, formerly filled with casinos and tourist shops,
