challenge that doesn't require you to learn any new calls. If you
haven't tried DBD please join us some Friday night. It only requires
you to know plus level dancing and there is no beginning or end to
it. Great exercise for the brain!

We were saddened at the passing of our class member, Wanetta Atkinson.
She and her companion, Paul, started class in the fall of 2012. They
carried our banner at DOR 2013. She became ill with cancer. They
returned to classes in the fall of 2013. The cancer returned and she
passed away in May, 2014. She loved square dancing and we loved
her. Our thoughts and prayers to Paul and Wanetta's families.

John Spencer passed away July 12, 2014. He and his wife of 63 years
were former long-time members of the Cayuga Cut-Ups. They also danced
in Geneva. Our thoughts and prayers to Helen and her family.

Our open houses will be September 11, 18, and 25.  These will be free
to all who wish to learn square dancing.

Remember the Promenader Benefit Dance on September 27.

Wishing all of you a fun and safe Halloween and a blessed

Beginning on September 7, we will return to our regular location at
First Baptist Church in Chili. See schedule of dances in the back of
the Promenader for times and callers/cuers.

We've had several social events this summer, including golf outings,
and our summer picnic on July 26 at Jane Avery's house. Despite the
threat of rain, only a few sprinkles fell upon the group. It was food,
fun and games with the evening conclusion with a huge bonfire that was
enjoyed by all.

Efforts continue with the "Adopt-A-Trail" with the club members
meeting to help keep our section clean and tidy.

We are gearing up for our annual Open House "Dance Party" which will
be held on September 14 and 21. Bonnie Allen and the Open House
Committee have planned a variety of activities to promote modern
pattern dancing.  Everyone is welcome!! Also this year, in conjunction
with Copy Cats, we will be offering a Groupon for reduced class
prices. Buy them for your friends, family members and
coworkers. Groupons are available now for a limited time and are good
for eight consecutive weeks of classes. Classes begin September 28.

Mark your calendars for Saturday October 11, when Cloverleaf Squares
will be hosting a special dance with caller Ed Laudenschlager calling
and Lisa Treichler cueing.  See the flyer in this issue of the
Promenader for more details.

A successful club is run by a board of directors. This year many board
positions will be open for you to get involved. See any current board
member for the positions that will be open, or join one of our board
meetings the first Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at the Bill Gray's

Oh the sweet summer is almost over, but it's exciting to start up a
new year of dancing at Copy Cats. Better yet is to see those of you
whom we have not seen all summer.

September 13 is the Rusty Hinge Dance. Bring a dish to pass for dinner
at 5:30 p.m. After eating and visiting with old and new friends, we
will dance at 7:30 p.m to calling and cueing by Mike Callahan. Time to
get the rust out!

We are gearing up for our open house on Tuesday, Sept.  23, from 7:00
to 9:00 p.m. A few weeks ago Copy Cat members received in the mail a
packet of flyers and letters for prospective new dancers. If you
haven't done so yet, hand out that information to anyone you think
would enjoy square dancing. What about a co-worker, family, friends,
neighbors or groups you socialize with?

This year Copy Cats is offering Plus Lessons on Tuesdays (Bay Trail
Middle School in Penfield) from 6:15 to 7:00 p.m. for a nominal
cost. From 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., we will have mainstream lessons. During
one of the breaks during the mainstream class, Ron Brown will do a
plus tip reviewing the calls that were taught in the plus class. We
are hoping this will reinforce the plus calls to all existing dancers.

Copy Cats is presenting Tim Marriner, national caller, along with
Alice Bubel, at St. John Fisher College on November 1. We will be
dancing at the Kearney Administration Building. At 1:00 p.m., there
will be A2 dancing, 3:00 p.m.  round dancing, and at 7:30 p.m. squares
and rounds 2x2.  Check our ad. We hope you can join us. We already

After a 55-year ride, the Country Twirlers have reached the end of the
trail.

We hope to see many of our friends at our a "Trail End Dance" on
Saturday October 25 at Washington Irving School. This is also a FREE
dance in honor of our 55th Anniversary.

Gary & Alice Bubel will be back with us and we are hoping to pack the
floor for what might be one of the last dances at this location.

History of Country Twirlers - Part 2

With Jack Barnes' retirement, it was decided to scout out the local
callers, and so in September 1991 Gary Bubel took on the calling, with
Alice cueing the rounds.

In May 2005, after 14 years, Gary informed us that he would be
retiring and spending winters in Florida.  It was then that we decided
to have an assortment of local and national callers and to join with
other clubs in special dances. Over the years we have danced to most
of the local and many national callers including Tim Crawford from
Ontario, Canada, who was a guest caller every year from 1984 until
2008, and always drew a great number of dancers.

And so we have gone full cycle from a few couples dancing in a home
basement to 80 club couples and guests in 25 squares dancing to a
national caller at Washington Irving to 14 people (9 dancers) hoping
to scrape together a few squares.

Our thanks to our dedicated officers who have been supporting us for
the past 19 years: Bernie & Denise Heroux (17 yrs.), Bill (deceased
10/13) & Ann Uebelacker (19 yrs.), Ed & Sybil Briggs (12 yrs.), Bill &
Edith (deceased 5/13) Thomas (19 yrs.).

Thanks also to the Fieges, Yehls and Don Schlicker & Shirley Knapp for
your many years of support.

A special thank to our guests, the hundreds of dancers who have been
our lifeblood for these many years. It has been a great ride!  "Happy
Trails to You" until we meet again!

Our fall dance schedule starts on September 9, at Dalton Elementary
School, from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m.

We have two regular dances before our Open House on September

will be the first time Dalton has attempted to offer Round Dance
lessons, so wish us well! On November 18, we will be having our
Veteran's Theme Dance. And on November 11, we will not be dancing as
the school will be closed for Veteran's Day.

We know Dalton is a long distance for most people, but look at it this

like a proposed program, email me at connie.rhogo2@gmail.com before

After you circle to Rt. 14, (Main St.), turn left and you are almost

the door on the left. We are at the top of the stairs. You will find
us dancing on a beautiful wood floor. The program can be easily

Summer is a busy time for us all, but we're especially thankful for
our air-conditioned hall that allows us to comfortably dance through
the summer. It's a good chance to dance with more of our snow birds,
too.

Fall approaches, but it's not too late to brush up on those plus
calls. So please join us on Monday afternoons, 1-3 p.m. at the Greece
Methodist Church, 1924 Maiden Lane, to review/learn the plus calls
from one of the best instructors anywhere, Mike Callahan. We welcome
couples and solo dancers with equal enthusiasm.  Of course, because of
Labor Day, we will not be dancing on September 1.

Our theme dances for this quarter are the Fall Fling dance on
September 15, the Western dance on September 29, the Halloween dance
on October 27, and the November 24 Thanksgiving dance. Casual attire
is always appropriate, but if you'd really like to get into the swing
of these dances, plan to wear your fancy square dance fashions for the
Fall Fling, your western duds on September 29, and your best Halloween
costume on October 27.

And, I'd have to say that I saved the best for last. Our last special
dance this quarter is the November 10 Soup and Salad dance. This dance
begins at noon with a luncheon of homemade soups, salads, and dessert
at a nominal charge of $3 for lunch and $5 for the dance. Please join
us, but so we may be sure to have plenty of food, a call to Jean
St. John by November 3 would be appreciated. Hope to see you there.

Well, the summer may be winding down but our dancing is still going
strong. If you haven't been able to come and dance with our club,
there is still time left.

September 12-14 includes a Plus Review day on Saturday (the 13th). For
only $20 a couple you can spend all day Saturday getting your
plus-level skills back up to par.

There will be round and square "funshops" in the morning with an
additional square dance "funshop" in the afternoon. Mike Herne will be
busy putting us through our paces with Brian Adams in charge of the
round dancing.  Then, before we start the evening dance, you can join
us for a chicken BBQ or steak dinner purchased through the campground
(reservations required). For additional information or to make dinner
reservations contact Herb/Gerry Brown at 607-857-2973.

October is our Halloween Gala with Betsy and Roy Gotta leading us
through our paces. Held over the Columbus Day weekend, Saturday
evening is a costume party/dance with prizes awarded in several
categories. Sunday evening will be a regular club dance. As much fun
as this weekend is, it also signals the end of our camping season.

But don't despair. You could still join us for our Christmas
dinner/dance which will be held on December 7. Dancing begins at 3:00
with dinner served at 5:30. Gary and Alice Bubel will be our
caller/cuer for the afternoon followed by a wonderful, home-cooked
meal lovingly prepared by Dottie Griffith.

If you would like to join us for either of the camping weekends but
don't have a camper, trailers and cabins are available through the

We are dancing every Wednesday, except the Wednesday before
Thanksgiving. Jerry Carmen is still our caller and cuer. And the
programs? Read carefully, since there are some new twists.

Our first two dances, Sept. 3 and 10, start at 7:30 p.m.  Our Hall
Warming Party on Sept. 10 is FREE to both members and guests.

Our Plus Class/Review workshop will start Wednesday September
17. Jerry Carmen will be teaching/calling/cueing.  Class is from 7:00
to 8:00 p.m. Then from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m.  Plus calling is at a level
that allows the class to participate.  From 9:00 to 10:00 p.m. dancing
is at a full Plus level. Breaks include rounds. Note the Plus Workshop
ad in this issue.  One admission covers an entire evening of
dancing. First time in attendance workshop dancers will be admitted
FREE. ALL fall dances after Sept. 10 follow this schedule.

October 15 is our always popular Barn Dance.  Dress country - e.g.,
cow or hayseed.

November 19 is our Sadie Hawkins Dance. Al Capp's toon Sadie stands
for the proposition that every lady, no matter how (fill in the blank
yourself) should have a decent chance at least once a year to catch a
man. But how? Bait! Every woman is requested to bring a dozen cookies.

One last thing to mention is our traditional New Year's Eve
dance. This year we will be celebrating Village Squares' Ruby (40th)
Anniversary on New Year's Eve. For details, pick up a flyer later this
fall at your club or consult the December issue of the Promenader.

As I write this Club News Article, Mike and Wanda are &ldquo;Basking&rdquo; in the Hot Dry Air of sunny Mesa Arizona, and I am just back from a Beach Walk in Garden City Beach, just south of the metropolitan area of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and NOT, at the moment eighty degrees as Wanda bragged that it was in Mesa.

So, who is home, watching the store back in Rochester, making sure that the local &ldquo;A&rdquo; Square Dancing Community is not feeling deprived?

Not to worry, our own illustrious most recent Circle of Service Award Winners, Sid and Toni Marshall are filling in nicely; however, I do point out that there are NO DANCES scheduled for the Tuesday the 1st of March, nor for three weeks from then on the 22nd of March.

The good news is that Mike and Wanda will be returning for a full normal slate of dances, right up until Tuesday the 21 of June &hellip; and of course, the Schedules Section of our Promenader will also show all of these dances/cancellations.

Of course, there is always that &ldquo;Upstate NY Caveat&rdquo;; if you can&rsquo;t get out of your driveway, it might be wise to do a &ldquo;One Eighty&rdquo;, and rethink your plans.

For the first time in some twenty years, Irma and I were not home to get our annual Shamrock Squares Christmas Party Picture, but I understand that Ex-Kodak Employee Erich Klippel did, and if I can somehow find a copy, it will appear here with this little article.

I just want to let all the snowbirds know it really isn&rsquo;t so bad in Rochester in the middle of this winter. Well, with the middle of the winter comes a great number of dancing opportunities. It is very easy with our great new website to check out these opportunities &mdash; 

Just go to:  http://squaredancingrochester.org &hellip; but, of course, if you are reading this you have gotten that far already. Go to the &ldquo;Special Events&rdquo; tab and there you have front page from our &ldquo;Paper&rdquo; Promenader.  I just checked, and as of today&rsquo;s issue it prints on 4 pages of paper so you can hang it on your refrigerator with every other important upcoming event.

So now moving along the special events list you will come to May 7th, 2016. This is truly a special event for our Federation &mdash; It is the 58th Dance-O-Rama 2016.  We will be dancing at Perinton Recreation Center again this year. Dancing starts at 2:00 pm and runs through until 9:45 pm. We have Four great Callers this year, some of whom you probably already know: Dave Eno, Brad Deibert, Mike Callahan and Ron Brown.  And for you Round dancers we have Mark Thone and Jerry Carmen. So, seriously, you rarely get to dance to a better staff than that. This year we have added a third hall, which will feature an A2 Session with Mike Callahan, followed by a Round Dance Party, which will be followed by a Line Dance Session with Jerry Carmen.  And these are just in the third hall. We have more going on in Halls A & B, so check your schedules.

We will again run our Club Challenge Promotion. The rules are simple. The club with the highest Percentage of members attending will win $50.00. We do include all class members in the count, and the official club count comes from your fall insurance participation. So, which club will it be this year? Tickets have been recently distributed, so make sure you buy your ticket and show up at the dance.

It&rsquo;s time to get practicing for the next dance. We shall meet in a square soon.

Saturday May 7, 2016, marks the date for the 58th Dance-O-Rama to be held at Perinton Recreation Center on Turk Hill Road. Last Year was the first club challenge, won by Copy Cats, which I still find amazing. This challenge is very simple. After everyone registers in, we divide the number of club attendees into the reported number of members in the club, so if your club has 25 members and 24 attend Dance-O-Rama, then you have a 96% attendance rate. As we said: It&rsquo;s pretty simple.

This year&rsquo;s Dance-O-Rama has even more to offer than last year. Of course we have a Mainstream hall; we also have a plus hall; and we will offer an A2 segment and a Line Dance segment, and finally a Round Dance party.  With more to offer we will be dancing in three rooms this year, and we have lined up a great calling and cueing staff.  Callers will be Dave Eno, Brad Deibert, Mike Callahan and Ron Brown.  Our cuers will be Mark Thone and Jerry Carmen.

As in years past, we will be having our great Basket Raffle, with proceeds going the Dance Retention fund. We will have three 50/50 winners this year.  Where can you go for $10.00 per person and have such a great time for 8 hours of fun and friendship with a little exercise along the way. Mark your calendars for May 7, 2016, and plan to come for at least some of the day. Or, better yet, plan on staying all day. See you there!
