Dance of the week: SCVSDA Jubilee
The Santa Clara Valley Square Dance Association (SCVSDA) hosts its annual Jubilee on October 14-16, 2005, at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose. The dance features a wide variety of programs and activities including Plus, Advanced, Challenge, Rounds, Clogging, Beginners, Handicapable, Youth, afterparties, and a barbeque. The main program includes a full time Plus hall, a full time Advanced hall with both A1 and A2, and a full time Challenge hall with dancing from C1 through C3. There will also be several "intro" sessions, some novel. The Plus hall hosts an "Intro to Advanced," the Advanced hall hosts an "Intro to Challenge", and the Challenge hall hosts an "Intro to C2" session. None of these is unusual. But a new feature of this year's program will be the "Intro to Square Dancing" session for non-dancers on Friday evening, the "Blast Class" session for non-dancers all day Sunday, and the class-level session on Saturday night for those taking a class but not yet graduated. The featured callers are Don Nordbye and John Saunders. Local callers include Roger Smith, Jim Osborne, Harold Fleeman, John Sybalsky, Robert Algea, Bob Elling, Pete Herman, Ken Carroll, Keith Ferguson, CJ Smith, John Bowman, and Eric Henerlau. Chuck and Shirley Hurst will cue rounds, and they will teach a round dance on Saturday morning.

Square Dancers for Katrina
by Tony Oxendine It is time for square dancers world wide to unite. Together, we can make a difference. Over the years, square dancers have shown themselves to be some of the most caring people in the world. Our goal is to send a check and truckloads of supplies to the affected areas on October 3, 2005. We will be in contact with FEMA to find out exactly where to deliver everything, and to determine what organization(s) to give the monies collected. Our goal is to send at least one semi-truck full of supplies and to hand over a check for ONE MILLION DOLLARS. We will be updating the website www.squaredancers4katrina.org on a daily basis to keep everyone abreast of our progress. Please check the site often. We need to get the word out quickly to as many square dancers worldwide as we possible can. If you have a website, please post a prominent link to ours on your page. If possible, send this letter out to any friends you have on the internet. http://www.squaredancers4katrina.org/
