The Swingin' Tern report for October:

On October 7, Swingin' Tern hosted Tom Amasse calling to Raise the Roof, and on October 21, Chuck Abell hosted the Brooklyn Swing Ensemble. Xander Kastan's choice of bands and callers consistently delights Swingin' Tern's dancers.

Effective next April, ST will raise the adult admission price from $10 to $12. That's the first increase in over ten years. The price for students will remain at $5.

While our committee was discussing the increase in admission price, we were notified that effective November 1, our rent will increase by $25 per dance, and proportionaly more for longer dances.

Because of generous contributions from Lin Goetz, one of our regular and loayal dancers, in October Swingin' Tern's results were postive by $112.

December is a big month on the Swingin' Tern calendar. December 16 will be our holiday dance, after which there will be an annual holiday party hosted by Doug and Brian. As most of you know, Doug is one of the founders of ST and a 33-year volunteer. On December 31 we will hold our annual New Year's Eve dance.
