2006 STATE FESTIVAL

The Southwest District will be hosting the State Festival in T or C in May 2006.  Jim & Jean Hinthorne from Silver City (Current District Chairmen) will become the State Officers.  They will need the help of all the clubs in the district to make the 2006 festival a success.  Please contact Charles & Pat Davis (District Reps) to see how you can help.  Or better yet attend the district meeting before the next district dance and find out for yourself.

Mary Ann Martin
 

Mary Ann had knee surgery in early February, and is recovering nicely.  She came to the Valentines dance and took pictures, but she probably should have stayed home with her leg up.  She is undergoing physical therapy now and wishes it would go a little faster.  We all wish her a speedy recovery.  We miss dancing with you Mary Ann, get better soon!

 Alma Lewis

Alma is schedule to have bypass  surgery in April 5th in Albuquerque.  Please keep Alma and Mike in your thoughts and prayers.  We wish her a speedy recovery.
