It was noted that there was no dance this past spring due to lack of interest but that there will be one next year on 5/22/10. Jenny and Diana will co-chair planning it.

The Halloween Dance is 10/31/09. The dance program was completed by Ron Hankes and John McCormick with suggestions from Ken and Diana. Bands have been contacted for music but we are waiting for responses. If live music does not work out, we’ll use recorded music. Only costume prizes will be given out this year.

The Wisconsin Scottish Highland Games have asked us to participate again this year in the same format as last year.
