BLUE BELL 55TH ANNIVERSARY

Blue Bell Square Dance Club will be 55 years old in January 2006.  We are planning a special dance to celebrate.  Please keep January 28th open for this special dance. 

RESCHEDULED DANCE

We are planning to refinish the floor at the Bridge Center in November.  So the 2nd dance in November will be held on Saturday November 19th instead of  November 26th. We still need volunteers to help.  Most of the help is needed to move tables/chairs and clean the floor before we start.  If you will be able to help please contact Bob Richie at 526-6301.

LOSSES

The Las Cruces Square Dance Community has lost two members in the past several months,  Bill Pinks, and Pam Harmon.  They were both members of Travel’n Twirlers, now the “A” group.  Our thoughts and prayers go to their families and loved ones.

BOB & PAT GILL

Bob and Pat’s son, Jeffery, is terminally ill and is at home with them under the care of Hospice.  They wanted everyone to know that they will probably not be able to attend our dances for a while.  I know the thoughts and payers of their many friends are with them during this difficult time ahead.

CHARLES & PAT DAVIS

Charles and Pat’s daughter’s family, who lives in Nacogdoches, TX had a tree fall on part of their house during hurricane Rita.  The good news is that none of the family was injured.  Please keep them in your thoughts and payers.
