We are very pleased to announce that three more of our valued members have volunteered to serve with the Board. We hope to have photos soon, but at least two of these dancers should be well known to our members.
Sue Barr, longtime social dance and Outreach volunteer, and recently a great success in the St. Monica’s School “Dancing with our Stars” fundraiser event;
Pam Au, a relatively new dancer and chapter member, already full of great ideas and energy for moving our chapter forward; and
Gayle Gould, also a longtime Outreach volunteer. We thank all these dancers for contributing their voices to help guide the chapter for the next 18 months.
