It was a very hot evening but that does not stop us from having a great time!
We almost had a full house, with 22 of us present at the party: Alison, Clancy, Dan, Banjo, Wren, Helen, James, Jayne, Kathy, Lou, Larrissa, Lisbeth, Marge, Max, Melva, Michael, Pam, Peg, Suzi, Teresa, Tina and Raul.
The party started with lots of chatting and eating, there were many delicious dishes to share, thanks everyone! After that, I had a short formal presentation about our achievements of 2024. I’ve attached the presentation to this email.
Then we presented members of the group with tokens of appreciation for special contribution made to our group. A huge THANKS goes to:
- 2024 Dance Instructors: Clare – Maniac, Larrissa – Elvira, Peg – Cine Are Noroc Are, Sharon – Shivers; and Wren, Clancy, Dan and Banjo – The Pirate Dance
- 2024 Best Attendance (more than half the dance sessions and are not dance instructors): Michael (31 sessions), Alison (28 sessions), Suzi (28 sessions), James (24 sessions), Sue (23 sessions), Bev (18 sessions), Helen (17 sessions)
(Note: I have mugs for Clare, Sue, Bev and Helen at home – if I don’t see you in the holiday break, I’ll bring them to the 1st dance session in 2025)
After that, the dance started of course! We started with THE PIRATE DANCE to start, and we made Wren very proud of us! We also danced SHIVERS, CALM DOWN, MANIAC (FLASHDANCE), ELVIRA, CINE ARE NOROC ARE (BY NICOLAE GUTA), YOU SHOULD BE DANCING, WAKA-WAKA, PEARLY SHELLS.

A huge THANKS to everyone in the group for a year full of fun and dancing! Look forward to another one in 2025.
Hugs & kisses,
