Our late square dance caller, Warren Jaquith, used to call two club nights per month with the DC Lambda Squares. With his passing, the board has had to quickly juggle the dance schedule; fortunately, previously scheduled special events (the annual general meeting this week, advanced & challenge the week follow, the church being unavailable the first club night in April, etc.) gave the board the space to make considered & thoughtful change.
One of their decisions was to formally ask
kent4str and I to fill one of Warren's club nights. Similar to our arrangement with the Chesapeake Squares, they're not particular about whether
kent4str, me or both of us call that night, just that we ensure someone is on mic.
The other club night will be rotated among guest callers, both local and regional.
Of course, there will be a new board in place on Thursday but our feeling is that they will be busy learning their new roles. The new board may revisit this arrangement but we're probably good for the next several months.
