Halloween

Thanks again to John Burnette for promoting the Halloween dance heavily.  Unfortunately, the turnout was about the same as the previous two attempts, just seventeen people.  But we had a good dance with SIX musicians playing and William Eagan calling.  The band called itself Stringulation.  Thanks, too, to the two new musicians who played for us, and to the two ladies for helping decorate the hall.

There is a fifth Saturday in January 2016, but I have not decided whether or not I want to continue with the dance.  We're getting enough dancers to pay for the hall but not much for the band, and not quite enough in my opinion for a really good dance.

We have a couple of younger people coming to Boca Saturday (younger than most of us, anyway), so if you know some younger people who haven't been to the dance before, Saturday is a good time to bring them.  The key to getting younger people coming regularly is to have other younger people attending regularly so they have someone to dance with.  I know that sounds rather circular, but that's the way it works.
