Hi <<First Name>>,
Tomorrow, come and dance our demonstration dances in preparation for Friday, November 17, when we will be demonstrating at a Seniors community. See info below. We will also dance your requests. Dances will reviewed where necessary.
Our AGM is coming up on November 20. Please come, bring a snack to share if you like, and help us make decisions! Although we value all your opinions, according to society rules, only members can vote. If you paid for the year (or half a year), you are a member. Have an issue that you want on the agenda? Let us know!
Extra events are optional and are listed here for your information. If a couple of hours of dancing once a week on Thursdays is as much as you want or can manage, that is fine!
