Hello Again from the Top:
It’s been another month of excitement. We
had a great Christmas dance on the third
Saturday with a great turnout to dance to Ken
Ritucci and Bev Oren. If you were not there
you really missed a very fun dance. For our
January dance we have Mike Sikorsky and Bev
Oren, another great dance in the making. We
also had a fun New Year’s Eve as a club when
we participated in a dance demo at a church in
Fullerton. Tim Pepper called and it was a
really fun time with squares and line dance
demos. The church congregation loved the
evening of dance food, and comradery. It all
ended with a prayer and some wonderful
comments from the audience.
kindness and support in our time of
need. They stepped up, opened their home,
and hurried their Christmas decorating to allow
the party to happen. They are wonderful
Church Mice examples of hospitality, caring
about our club and what can happen when we
apply the true feeling of Christmas: Love and
Giving to your friends, neighbors and this case
all of us. Please thank them when you see
them at a dance, a visitation, or just out and
about for all that they do for our club.
I want to alert you to an event we are planning
for February. We are going to again do a
"Breakfast at Applebees” fundraiser. I want all
of you to come out and help us with this event
and sell some tickets to your friends, neighbors
and co-workers. It is an important fundraiser
and it will help us fund our dances and start
doing some club sponsored special events like
a mystery bus trip, or a special visitation to a
club far away by bus, or a concert, or play or
some event that you might suggest outside the
normal dance events. Let’s get out and
support this so we can get together and have
some fun as a group.
I want to soap box for a moment. I seem to
always see the same group of faces over and
over at our dances and visitations. I have seen
less than a third of all the members so far and
only a handful on any regular basis. Where
are you other Church Mice? Come on out to
one of our dances or visitations. I’d love to
meet you and talk about our club and what we
could together to make it better for us in the
future. I could surely use your ideas, help and
suggestions.
Well that’s it for this month and don’t
forget: Come on out and Be there and Be
Square ... Dancing”.

President,
George
We also had our Holiday Party and this year it
was held at Paul and Alice Baldwin’s house
due to issues at Cedarbrook. I want to
formerly thank Paul and Allice for their
