President’s Message Hello Happy Hoppers,
Cindy and I are very tired of the snow, and suspect you are too. We would
have been just fine with one of those winters where we get little or no snow.
But we have to deal with whatever Mother Nature throws at us.
With regards to square dancing, virtually every club cancelled at least one
dance. But for experienced square dancers, missing a few dances over a
couple weeks is just an inconvenience. When the dances resume we will go
back to dancing without missing a beat. For our new dancers, it is a
different story. They have just been exposed to some of the more complex
moves in lessons, and now they have had to take a couple weeks off from
dancing. Our Happy Hopper students missed a Happy Hoppers student
dance and at least one other student dance. We are only able to make up
one of the two lessons we had to cancel. So our students will graduate on
February 18, but with a little less instruction and dance time than normal.
So if you see someone with a Happy Hopper badge at a dance and you
don’t recognize them, consider that they may be a recent graduate and
could use a little encouragement and help getting out on the floor and
dancing. For members who have been Angels at our lessons, you can
recognize our recent graduates. Please help get them out on the dance
floor. We all needed a little help at this stage of our square dance journey,
and our current graduates are no different. Soon they will be dancing up a
storm. Thanks.

Happy Hopper Lessons Coordinator Report
The final two classes of our 2018/19 lessons were cancelled due to record SNOW fall but we finally held the
graduation on February 18th and graduated 40 students, of which 38 joined our HH club this year!
A BIG Thank You to all the Angels from our HH Club, and other clubs, that came out throughout the lesson
season and helped make our lessons successful.
A breakdown of participants and money collected is as follows:
Jan. 14: 32 students, 25 Angels (23 HH, 2 other clubs), 7 squares – ($150 cash)
Jan. 21: No class - holiday
Jan. 28: 36 students, 27 Angels (25 HH, 2 other clubs), 6 squares – ($171 cash)
Feb. 4: snow day – lesson cancelled (rescheduled to Feb. 18)
Feb. 11: snow day – lesson cancelled (rescheduled to Feb. 18)
Feb 18: xx students, xx Angels (xx HH, other clubs), x squares – ($xxx cash)
And Graduation!
We had 6 of our HH students and 1 HH Angel that went to the Rainbow
Squares student level dance on Saturday Jan. 26.
13 HH students and 13 HH Angels were at the Feb. 1 First Friday Funfest at
The Hayloft.
The Feb. 8 Mt Baker Singles had their “Valentine Dance” cancelled due to
snow, and our Happy Hopper student dance with Gary Monday on Feb.
10 was also cancelled due to snow.
Continuing with that trend, the Sky Valley Whirlwinds student dance on
Saturday, Feb. 16 was also cancelled due to snow!
We have contracted with the Marysville school to open the cafeteria on Feb. 18 even though there is no school
to make up for our Feb. 4 cancellation. We may hold another makeup day due to the Feb. 11 lesson
cancellation.
Our series of 4 Mainstream Strengthening Workshops with Steve Noseck commence on February 25 on
Mondays from 7-9pm, $6 per dancer.
Pam Santee ~ HH Class Coordinator
Our lesson instructor, Dave Harry, has recently requested that we change our lessons from 16 weeks to 20 weeks. He is making
similar changes where he teaches for other clubs. The Hoppers voted at the Tuesday HH meeting to accept Dave's proposal, so
next year our lessons will be 20 weeks.~~~ Eric Selby

Hello Happy Hoppers,
The club requires dues from the members for the next dance season. We need $25 each year from each member who wants to continue to be in the club. Of that, $6 goes to the Mount Baker Council and State Federation. Please note that our new graduating students that are joining our club as of February 11, 2019 have already paid their dues for this upcoming 2019/2020 year. For the rest of us, please submit $25 per person by cash or check (made out to Happy Hoppers) to Eric or Cindy by March 1. Thank you!

Dear Happy Hoppers We want to invite you all to our annual Dinner
Meeting. Please mark your calendar for Tuesday April 9th
At our Happy Hoppers club meeting Tuesday evening, Doug Newman reported on the various venues he contacted regarding our April 9 Happy Hoppers Dinner. The size of the club and expected attendance at the dinner really limits our options and prevents everyone ordering off the menu. After much discussion, the club voted to have our dinner at Olive Garden in Tulalip. To attend the dinner, you will need
to pre-select one of several options for your dinner and pre-pay for the dinner beforehand.
