Wow My Cassie nailed a great solo at her concert-Wow! We had a fabulous SD Party Sat Nite- A good Class/Workshop Tonight and an interesting situation on my way home- I had a dancer call me asking if I knew of any workshops or classes meeting Tuesday or Wednesday in the area he's in for 3 days- I said I'll look when I get home-Note to ALL Clubs- If you want an occasional visitor for no money -KEEP YOUR WEBSITES UP TO DATE-Note to Callers-SAME, I have a feeling this fellow will be sitting in a motel-For No Reason at all

AGGGHHH

Tonight is the Toys For Tots Benefit- Should be fun- It's been a good week- We are growing Mondays This group always winds up with more students than we start with-Not a bad problem to have :::))))) Tuesdays are doing well-our attendance averages about the same as the Fresno club, yet we're in a town 1/8 the size.  Wednesdays are up a bit.
Thursdays we're still not recovered from the snow/fire stuff of last year- It's not looking good-But the club is trying and has a great attitude. Cassie is at Formal tonight-Mrs.. Rick is at Mannheim Steam Roller and I'm off to docido.

I was so optimistic a mere 6 days ago and now one of the aforementioned groups is having a serious problem, all brought about by one (maybe 2) folks. It really doesn't matter if these folks are doing anything or not- Perception is reality!!!!! I wished someone had warned the club (Oh wait I did, on this blog)  sigh SH*T happens. Anyway a fun week, following a crappy attendance at the Toys 4 Tots dance......hmmm...wonder why. Maybe I'll get a job at a liquor store and expect to have to deal with nuts.

A FUN but intimate dance today- Actually the attendance was a few people above average, but still intimate.
I was glad to see a visit from Visalia and Glad to see the Whirlaways getting back to their usual good job and participation from members-Whew- Thanks Gandys and the socal folks.
