Halloween Dance: On October 31 we will be having a special Halloween dance. 
Costumes are most appropriate -- I've heard rumors of a prize for best costume. 
Ridiculous, horrible, funny, or silly, but come to dance!

Suggestion Box:  Continue to drop in your suggestions, and comments in the 
suggestion box each dance.  

Steering committee:  The steering committee will be meeting at 5:00PM on Sunday 
October 4 at Pat McClain's place, 1703 Randolph, Huntsville, 534-8907.  
Membership on the steering committee is determined by one's willingness to show 
up at the meeting.

Newsletter subscriptions or renewals: are $6.00 a year, and can be sent (with 
checks made out) to me or paid at the dance.  You are also welcome to call with 
any questions about events on the calendar.  If I don't have the information, I 
can tell you where to get it.

Sound System for Group: We have the opportunity to purchase the sound system we 
have been renting for the dances. The price is quite reasonable, but we will 
need to have the money by about April. If not, it will no longer be available 
either to rent or buy! If anyone has any good ideas for fund raising, please 
drop them in the suggestion box. Donations will also be gladly accepted at any 
dance! 

Dance Tip of the Month -- Partners:  Sometimes you choose a partner and 
sometimes you get chosen. It's acceptable for women to ask men to dance. 
Everyone likes to dance, so if the sexes are unequal in number, ask someone of 
the same sex to dance. Generally we change partners after each dance unless the 
caller gives other instructions.
