2011 New Years Eve at IBEW

The annual New Years Eve dinner/dance/party was held at IBEW. From comments received a good time was had by all. Ray Hiebler catered this year and he did a terrific job. A function like this cannot be held without the work of wonderful people like Shirley Hiebler, Bill & Sandy Thomas, Jeannie & Larry Smith, Barbara & Ron Fisher, Ray Brady, Rick & Judy Keen and Fran Romeo. A huge thank you to each of them. However, without the support of the dancers, obviously this function could not be held. All who attended and those that brought friends are the reason we can do something like this. If you cannot download a picture and would like a copy send a note to flord@aol.com, identifying the particular picture # and a copy will be emailed. Hope everyone has a great New Year.

On Saturday, February 27, 2010, the annual Tri County Dinner/Dance was held at Columbus Gardens in Perry Hall, MD. Following a delicious dinner and dessert we got down to dancing until midnight. The dance was organized by Rick Keen with help from his wife, Judy; Bob and Trudy and Mike and Yetta. They all did a superb job. However, without the support of the dancers the dance could not be held and along with the above people, Ro and I would like to thank everyone who attended. Old, new, easy, difficult, line and couples dances were done. There were far more requests than could ever possibly be done in the time allotted but hopefully everyone left satisfied.

2009 14-day dance cruise to Caribbean

About 80 people joined us on a 14-day cruise aboard "Grandeur of the Sea." The trip was organized by Shirley Hiebler of On The Go Travel. Visits were made to Bermuda; Tortola, British Virgin Islands; St. Maarten; Curacao; Aruba; Grand Cayman; Cozumel, Mexico; and ending in Tampa. It drizzled until about mid-morning the first port visit in Bermuda with 13 days of mostly sunshine the remainder of the cruise. We saw beautiful sights, met friendly people, did lots of activities, danced a lot, ate too much and just had a fun time. The old adage that it is a small world was proven again when by accident we met Ginette McWherter, the mother of choreographer/dancer, Brian McWherter on the ship. Dances taught while sailing were "Reminisce," "Hands Up" and "Speak With Your Heart." There are also two videos on YouTube.com. Both are Lou dancing to "Somebody Loves You." Key word linedance Lou ship. Thank you to Beverly Goines for providing some of the pictures.

Bill & Sandy, Ray & Shirley and Ro & I, would like to thank everyone who came to the New Year's Eve dance. Jeannie did the catering and it was absolutely delicious. Jeannie, and her husband, Larry, make a great team - Jeannie rocketing around the kitchen and Larry calmly doing his thing. The roast beef, done by Ray Hiebler, added greatly to the delicious meal. Obviously it takes a lot of people to put on something like this and we would like to thank those who helped - Fran Romeo, Rick Keen, Brian Henning and Rich Sunday for setup and tear down. Ray Brady, as usual, did his great job of decorating the ceiling and perimeter with lights. Kathy Henning make the cute center pieces. Kitchen help was Ron and Leslie Schinella.

Costumes of the past

Regrettably we can only date a few of the terrific Halloween costumes that you have worn over the years. Thus, many of the costumes are here in random order. When we were dancing at Severna Park Elks, there was an announcement on a country-music radio station describing many of the costumes. Your ingenuity and time in putting the costumes together is appreciated to this day. Ro & I will always be grateful to each of you.
