ValleyRD Mailing List: St. Baldricks and Pictures

[Wayne Chapman (waynechapman28]

More and more of you are arriving to the warm weather and friendship of the Texas Rio Grande Valley.  As I write this at 10:00 PM on Sunday night it is 70 degrees outside. 

 

The Baldwins, Fishers, Gerdes, Heinys, Kurczewskis, Nelsons and Sherrills all have their Round Dance programs running.  The Gloodts will start their program the first week in January.  So you see we have a great group of cuers.

 

A great crowd enjoyed Ski's Christmas Party dance last night.  I took several pictures and have posted them on my webshot site at

Nina Munn, one of our Canadian Round Dance friends, won the drawing for the Christmas Crystal Christmas Ornaments.   The Ski's brought these back from Germany and have graciously donated them to raise money for our St. Baldricks Childhood Cancer Event.
