Hi <<First Name>>,

Tomorrow, while I'm away in Ontario, many enthusiastic dancers will be taking care of leading the dancing. You will have great dancing, then I'll see you next week for our Halloween Party on October 24. 

I forgot to send out this newsletter last week, and I don't have the list of dances we did on October 10. Remember that you can usually check the website for the dances we do each week. Eventually I will update it! 

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!
  • Halloween Party, Thursday, October 24, 7-10pm, We dance to your requests with occasional reviews. Bring finger-food to share, and wear a silly/scary costume if you like. Send your dance requests using the contact form, or mark on the voting sheets at dancing tomorrow. The party playlist will consist of the most popular dances. See event listing.
  • October 31 dancing is cancelled. The gym is not available to us.
  • Annual General Meeting, Monday, November 4, 7pm, at Dale's house, 16479 - 92A Ave, Surrey. Bring a snack to share. See event listing.
  • On Thursday, December 5, visit and teach dances to the 3rd Clover Ridge Brownies group from Girl Guides of Canada from 6:30-8pm at Don Christian Recreation Centre, 6220 - 184 Street. See event listing.
Happy Dancing,
Dale

We will be designing a new dance demonstration program for the 2019/20 dancing season. Have ideas? Contact me. As usual, the dances should span the globe, be varied, and not be too difficult.
Need some dance shoes?
Visit the store, danceCraft, in Newton Crossing near the Newton Wave Pool. Melanie Minty owns danceCraft and also writes an Arts column for the Surrey Now newspaper. See the wonderful new article Melanie wrote for us here.

The Squalicum Yacht club is the smaller of the two Yacht Clubs side by side on S. Harbor Loop Drive. (South Harbor Loop Drive is connected in a circle with North Harbor Loop Drive.)

How to get there:

From the North, go South on I-5, take the Meridian Street Exit and turn right. From Meridian, take the 3rd right (2nd traffic light) onto Squalicum Way. Follow Squalicum Way and it will merge onto Roeder Street. Shortly thereafter, there will be signs for Squalicum Harbor and Coho Way. Take a right onto Coho Way. The very first possible right turn which is identified with a street sign "N. Harbor Loop Drive", take that right and at the end of that very short road you are in a parking lot. If you would turn left you will see the Squalicum Yacht Club in front of you.

From the South, you can take Holly Street through town to "F" Street. Turn left onto F street toward the water and across the train tracks to Roeder. Turn right onto Roeder Ave Continue on Roeder to Coho Way (City Mac Store) Turn Left onto Coho Way. The first possible right is "N. Harbor Loop Drive". Take that right and drive that short "road" to the end, and turn left into the parking Lot. The small building in front of you is the Squalicum Yacht Club.
