President’s Corner – Doug and Sandy
At the end of September my mom passed away and I have been in Delaware for the last few weeks supporting my father as he goes through grieving for the loss of his sweatheart of 61 years. My mother was a wonderful person and I will miss her dearly. I am comforted to know she has gone to a better place.  Thanks everyone for the kind words and the many cards. And thank you Daryl and Leslie for filling in wonderfully while Sandy and I were away.
Real quick short note as I am swamped with things to catch up on.

2) Grange Apprecation Day
I unfortunately missed this but I hear it went really well. Leslie is suggesting getting together on Saturday the 29th to finish painting the interior beams. Let her know if you can help.
 
Now that we have wonderful lighting in the bathrooms we need to spiff them up a bit. Daryl is going to take on the bathrooms the weekend of Nov. 5th. I am going to help with this one as this has been on my list for some time.
 
3) Dance Night Recipe Booklet
Diana Remund would like to put together a recipe booklet of people’s favorite dance night recipes. Please pick out a couple of your favorites and email them to her or bring in a hard copy to a lesson or dance.

Hello everyone,

We have an opportunity to show our club colors tomorrow night (Thursday) in Paola.  Every year the 4th, 5th & 6th grade boys have a date night with their moms and watch a movie.  This year they want to dance with their moms!  We would like every available Docey Dandies member to help with this event if possible.  There could be between 80 - 150 boys and moms at this event. The start time for square dancing is 6:30pm- 7:30pm with line dancing (A gym teacher from Osawatomie is doing the line dancing) starting at 6:00pm if you are interested. The location is at the Sunflower Elementary School which is right behind the High School, which is behind the Walmart right off the 169 Highway exit. The dance theme is "Moms & Sons Kick up Your Heels at the Mom & Me BARN BASH"....(western wear).   I have attached the information to this email, if you cannot open it, please call Donna or Me for more information.

We are also offering new set of beginner square dance lessons starting Tuesday, October 18 in the Grange Kitchen.  Mary & Sandy have agreed to teach this set of lessons with Mike's support.  If you would like the share how much fun square dancing is with someone, please bring them on the 18th!

Thank you,
Daryl
