Catching Up

I've had a stack of amended caller contracts sitting in my in-tray for a while; I'm happy to announce I've finally finished scanning the lot so I can pass the originals along to our caller coordinator.

Abe is still working on obtaining bids for a photographer. To help a little with a list of requirements to circulate, I dug through my files of prior conventions looking for purchase forms for club photos. I found only two (2003, 2008)... alas, I tend to purchase the club photos so I use the forms rather than store them.

I also dusted off my crappy old fax machine to send off the licensing agreements for ASCAP and BMI. We're now officially on the side of the angels for music licensing for the convention. Yay!

Our next newsletter should be ready in the next few days so I hope to be able to distribute it in email by the coming weekend.

C1 Square Dance Weekend

We made it home safely yesterday evening from John Marshall's C1 concepts square dance weekend in York, PA.

In all, it was a fun time. There were a few tips which I found excrutiatingly difficult; one tip Saturday night left me so annoyed & frustrated that I would have called it a night if it wasn't already nearly the end of that dance block. John commented that some of the material he was calling would challenge a C3A floor but that wasn't much consolation at that particular moment. In all though I had a good time, acquitted myself adequately and didn't do permanent physical damage to myself, my partner or my squares so I'm declaring victory.

Tonight, we have our regular C2 class... we'll see if I remember anything from the weekend. :-)
