The Sandpipers are hosting this dance, so bring finger food.  The PSDA will be furnishing a cake. If the dance is successful, the PSDA will continue scheduling dances with well-known callers.</div> <bR> <div> Again wishing you all a great 2010!</div> <div> <B>Chuck and Joan Ades</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!</B></div> <div> <IMG SRC="11cdfa4d0.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="333" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="10" VSPACE="10"><IMG SRC="11cfbb4d0.jpg" border=0 width="443" height="333" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="10" VSPACE="10"></div> <bR> <div> On Thursday, December 31, 2009, the Sandpiper Square Dance Club, in conjunction with the Circulator Square Dance Club, put on the dance of the year with almost 20 squares in attendance.  International caller Gary Shoemake and our own cuer extraordinaire Rey Garza, put on a show to ring in the New Year.  President's Joan Ades (Chuck was out with a bad back) of the Sandpipers and Dick and Kathleen Hoot of the Circulators welcomed everyone to the dance and introduced Gary and Rey.  A special thanks to Jim and Catherine Bowen who Chaired the New Year's Eve Dance Committee and Nancy and Larry Anderson the Sandpipers Hospitality Chairs for all their work in organizing and set up, food and refreshment preparation, decoration and put away efforts.  It was a wonderful way to kick-off the New Year.  Chuck Ades has announced that this year's Sandpiper New Year's Eve Dance will be called by the great Johnny Preston.  Cueing will be the wonderful Rey Garza.  You won't want to miss this dance. </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="11e9fa4d0.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="333" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="10" VSPACE="10"><IMG SRC="11eaee4d0.jpg" border=0 width="238" height="333" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="10" VSPACE="10"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="11d5902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="10" VSPACE="10"></div> <bR> <div> <B>GAME NIGHT</B></div> <div> Renny and John Dowling</div> <div> Next Monday, February 1, 2010 at 7 pm is the Sandpiper's FEBRUARY GAME NIGHT at the DOWLINGS, 1716 S.

Sandpipers combined their classes into one big class at the Vista Townsite Center, Vista, CA.  Callers Ray Holmes and Jim Randall provided entertaining calling while Regina Aubrey cued a Round between square dance tips.  Eight squares were on the crowded floor most of the night.  It was a real treat for the Sandpiper students to see some Rounds being cued.  The Ocean Wavers routinely have Rounds cued between the square dance class tips.   Pictured above are callers Jim Randall and Ray Holmes enjoying a close moment of Round Dancing (which one is the girl?).</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR>
