Swingin' Tern Report

Both February dances had low attendance. February 5 had a snow storm that turned out not to be too bad by the evening, but we nearly canceled the dance and I believe many people were reluctant to travel. February 19 coincided with the Flurry Dance Festival Weekend in Saratoga Springs, an event that always draws a number of our regular dancers. We also had our band cancel out at the last minute due to a death in the family, and were very fortunate only 24 hours before the dance to line up Fingerplay as a substitute. Announcements had gone out warning people that the dance might be cancelled. As it turns out we had about a dozen newcomers, and a number of them stayed though the evening, and everyone there had a good time.

We started the college emails, but only a dozen at a time, and have not seen an influx of young folks show up yet.
