ROCHESTERAREA FEDERATIONOF WESTERN R RoUNDAND SQUARE DANCE CrUBS A ROCHESTER,NEW YORK AN OPENLETTER TO THE MEMBERSOF THE ROCHESTERAREA FEDERATIONOF WESTERNROTIND AND SQUAREDANCECLUBS....

September IB, L962

Over the years there has been a void in communicationsbetween the Federation, clubs and dancers in t,he area. Therefore, in order that your Federation may be of greater service to the clubs and dancers, the board of delegates voted unanimouslyto publish a monthly newspaperon a trial basis.

The board appointed Bitl Bibler and Lew Dietz to serve as co-editors. To assist them and to establish editorial policies, a board of review has been selected from the board of delegates.

Through this mediumwe will publish the schedules of each club's dances for the current month and extend into the first half of the following month. SpacewiII be available for letters to the editor which will give all member dancers an equal opportunity to speak on any issues. Clubs may list their special dances and have publ ished any other news items about their club as an organization and about their membersas individuals. Our dance population witl be informed of the progress of the committees for the annual Dance-O-Rama. News items will be published from publications exchangedwith federations in other areas. In general, through this newspaper,Bll the dancers will be kept well informed on what is going on in our dance circles.

This first issue is complimentory, the expensesunderwritten by the Federation. But, of course, if we continue,to publish, we will have to set up a subscription system to underwrite the expenses of commercial printing based on a nominal charge per copy, We anticipate that the cost can eventually be brought to the minimumfor the benefit of our readers through revenue from advertising which we wiII solicit as soon as our paper is established and the early problems of such a venture have been solved.
