DANCING IN OUR WORLD

Afternoon Visit In June, Oklahoma

hosted their fifth Na-

tional Square Dance

Convention. Oklahoma

dancers came through

once again and pulled off another Great

Convention. Gene and Barbara Morton,

George and Shirley Hazlett, You made

Oklahoma Proud.

One of Oklahoma’s Greatest Square

Dance Callers has retired. Henry and Bar-

bara Israel took an interest in Square

Dancing in 1971 which led to their learn-

ing to Square Dance and then calling for

the Square Dancers. Henry and Barbara

called for Circle 8 Square Dance Club in

OKC from September 1978 to June 2013,

they also called for Fun Timers Square

Dance Club in Midwest City and for Star

Promenaders Square Dance Club in

Lawton. They will not be forgotten.

We hope that everyone had a safe July 4th

and celebrated with your loved ones.

The Snow White Bandit has been making

its rounds around Oklahoma and may be

coming your way soon. Make sure that

you have your Festival Tickets and are

ready to sell. The car is a beauty and will

draw in the car enthusiasts for you. Re-

member to get out and sell, sell, sell.

On Friday, July 12th we visited Rt. 66

Jamboree in Elk City. They did a Wonder-

ful Job decorating the hall and we were

very impressed with how clean everything

looked. They had several really Great

Callers to dance to.

We are very sad to report that on July 20th,

North Central District held their last dance

at the Sanger Ridge Elm. School. Their

district mem-

bership was too

low and most of

their members

are suffering

with age and

health issues to

have enough

dancers to keep

the district go-

ing. We hope to

see them out

attending other

dances in the

near future.

On Sunday,

July 21st, Cen-

tral District

hosted the Cen-

tral District’s President Dance at the Westside

Lion’s Hall, this was a visit 9 dance.

2013 ticket program

We have gotten a lot of response with our

1980 Pontiac Trans Am at the visitations we have

been on. We have been to Southern District at

McAlester for the Italian Festival with a good turn-

out. The Route 66 Festival in Clinton was great.

We were in the car show and our car received a 1st

Place Plaque in the 1980 Category. The first of

June the Trans Am traveled to Green Country, then

we were off to Weatherford for another Car show

& Cruise that was a lot of fun. We were off to Mar-

low for the 4th of July Festival, a lot of tickets were

sold that day. The 19th of July we traveled to

Woodward for the weekend for more fun in the sun

& ticket sales. Some districts have already been

asking for more tickets the rest of you better get

busy somebody is going to win the Victory Dance.

SELL ~ SELL ~ SELL, but have fun.

3rd Vice President—Vernon Willis and Joyce Winfield

Southwest District—Lois and Vernon Schimmels

Bray. They have worked

so very hard for Square

Dancing. Let’s keep

"Dancing in our World".

Once again I am trying

to put my thoughts

about the 67th state

festival on paper. Time

is sure passing fast.

There are approxi-

mately 105 days until

the festival.

We are asking for help-

ers to help put the floor

down on Thursday eve-

ning. If we get help, it

won't take very long.

The pre-party dinner

will be the next night. I

know it will be a fun

event. Ron and Barbara

are working very hard

so we will all have a

great meal and dance.

The festival will be a

great time. Don't forget

to make your hotel

room reservations early.

The more rooms we

reserve the better off

we are.

Please help us make this

weekend a fun filled

time for Glen and Linda

weight on her foot for a

month.

State Ticket sales for the Festival are going

great! SW will be vying

for that Victory Dance by

having the largest per-

centage increase. Look-out Southern here we

come.

Hub City Squares in

Clinton will be hosting

Southwest District has

been having a great time

dancing at our club dances and at the Route

66 Jamboree. The Jam-

boree is still growing and

more and more dancers

are having more and

more fun.

The Southwest Dis-

trict Fall Festival will be

October 19 in Vernon, TX with Dean Dederman

calling. It is a visit 9

dance and a State Offi-

cers Visitation. Put us on your calendars now and

come have a great time

on a great wood floor.

Lois went in for a mi-

nor foot surgery to have a cyst removed and the

doctors discovered she

had two tendons that

needed repaired. She will be unable to put any

Fall Roundup in

September. Notice

of location will be

by mail and email.

The SASHAY will

not have another

issue before then.

.

We are working on

arrangements for

the Fall Roundup.

Invitations will be

coming out soon.

We attended the

Informal Meeting in

Piedmont on July

14, 2013. We had a

nice crowd as well

as great food and

fellowship. Sorry

everyone could not

be there. We are

looking forward to

seeing you all at the

Would you write an Article? We are looking for square dancers to write a POSITIVE article about something happened, happening, or someone that you think did a BIG PLUS for square dancing. Let’s toot our own horn and let the square

dance world know that there are great things happening in square dancing. We hear so much about what

is wrong or we are loosing dancers and clubs, we can’t get students. Why can we not hear about the GOOD things? The media says pain and terror sell newspapers. Well, we just want to feel good when

we read about square dancers and we do not have to pay for our email copy of the SASHAY.

Oklahoma dancers, thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Your help and

support of the 62nd National Square Dance Convention made this event a success. After

many hours and countless miles driven, more meetings than could seem humanly possible

the 62nd is now history. With over 600 hundred Oklahoma dancers working during the

convention you certainly made the 3.500 others dancers from around the world welcome.

From the General Chairman, Assistant General Chairman, Secretary, Legal Adviser and all

of the Sooner Board, Thank You

Ed and Connie Baker—62nd Publicity Chairman

North Central District—Tom and Margene Pearce, President

Hello everyone. I hope it is not as

warm and sticky where you are.

The rains were wonderful and very

much needed, but now you feel like

you are melting in to a pool.

The North Central District has de-

cided that it can no longer continue

dancing. July 20, 2013 is going to

be their last dance. They are going

to have the final dance at Sanger

Ridge School in Stillwater, OK. It is

going to be a Visit Nine and will be-

gin at 8:00. The club will be there

earlier to set up chairs and things.

We do not care how early you get

there, it just makes more time for

visiting. We have invited people

that used to dance with us in the

District that we have not seen in

years. We hope to have a good

time of fellowship and fun. If you

are able to come we appreciate it

very much. If you do not get to

come we are sorry that you missed

it.

Tom and I plan to dance around

at some of the special dances in

the state when we can. We have 2

granddaughters that are very ac-

tive in sports. The oldest plays at

Benedictine college in Atchison,

KS and they went to Nationals last

year. The youngest is going to be a

sophomore in high school and as a

freshman she went to State in 4

events last year. She pitched on

the fast pitch softball team, played

on the basketball team, played

golf, and then played 3rd base on

the slow pitch team that also went

to State.

Hope to see each and everyone of

you in a square sometime. We

have really, really enjoyed dancing

with you all and it is sad to not be

doing it as a steady thing any

longer.

May God Bless each and everyone.

Well the fun and fellowship of summer-

time is winding down and it is time to

get back to the business of square danc-

ing, not that many of us have noticed

that we haven’t done this all summer.

Many of our dancers attended the 62nd

Nationals in OKC. What a trip. Gene &

Barbara, George & Shirley, you guys did

real good. We met up with a lot of old

acquaintances and met some new

friends. Other than our back and feet

hurting, everything was great. If you

missed it, you missed one fantastic party.

One of our clubs, Ramblers, will dance

throughout the summer. They will dance

on July 26, August 9 and 23. They

dance at the Church of Christ Family

Life Center at 1900 West Rogers, Skia-

took. Come to Skiatook and dance with

this “fun bunch”.

We lost one club at the end of May, the

Bartlesville Boot Scooters. This is al-

ways a sad occasion. We hope that these

dancers will keep on going and dance

with other clubs. They are a great bunch

and the trips to Bartlesville will be

missed

The dancers of our district are so enthu-

siastic and friendly that we know this

will continue to be a great year for

square dancing and for SDAGC. We

look forward to seeing each of you in a

square somewhere. We will be ever pre-

sent at many square dance functions, en-

joying the company of our square dance

friends. The next big get-together will

be the Fall Round-up. We will be anx-

ious to see you there. Remember we are

only a S – M – I – L – E away so come

on over.

Jim & Julia, President

Square Dance Association of Green

Country

On a personal note, thank you to all of

you for your cards, calls, prayers and

words of condolence with the loss of

Julia’s mother. Mom would have been

97 in October. She lived a long and sat-

isfying life. Her last 3 years were spent

in the Cimarron Pointe Care Center in

Mannford and she always said they were

very good years. Thank you for the love

sent our way.

South Central District—Avery and Missy Fuller

Let's Twirl and

Swing 2013

Greetings and Saluta-

tions from South Cen-

tral District.

Well where to start.

South Central District

is doing well and go-

ing strong. Since last I

spoke to you we've

had a lot of fun dances

that kept us busy

throughout the times.

We have been able to

maintain six clubs and

they are going strong

as ever. Now that Na-

tionals are over with

and everybody has

rested up somewhat,

we can start looking

towards our own Okla-

homa State Festival in

November. As every-

one knows, the SCD

has been tasked with

the fashion show and

exhibitions/

entertainment for your

enjoyment. Right now

we've got about 12 or

14 couples that have

graciously volunteered

to be model couples.

Still, I would like to

have a about five more

couples to help fill the

hour-long time frame

that we have allotted.

So please, if you

would like to be in the

fashion show, email

me or let your district

presidents know and

we will get the appro-

priate paperwork out

to you all. I know we

have a lot of very

beautiful women and

handsome men in

Oklahoma, so I'm

looking forward to

hearing from you. As

far as exhibitions/

entertainment goes I

am keeping that a se-

cret.

Now then, as far as

upcoming events in

the SCD, we have two

events coming up in

August. The first one

will be on August 10,

which is going to be

our fall round up. Our

SCD, 2nd Vice Presi-

dents Lonnie and Jody

Billings & I would

like to take this oppor-

tunity to invite each

and every one of you

to come out and enjoy

an evening of " Twist-

ing With the Leader of

the Pack ". This will

be a Chubby Checker

era themed dance. We

will have a big time of

twisting & shouting

and having a good

time. Who knows, there

might even be a toga

there somewhere. So

please come out with us

and enjoy yourselves. I

know you will.

Our second event will be

on August 31, which is a

fifth Saturday, and that's

when we'll have our

medical benefit dance.

Every year the SCD puts

on a dance that goes to

benefit a nonprofit char-

ity organization that

deals with the medical

and dental aspects of the

less fortunate. We go out

and ask for donations

from local businesses to

be auctioned off. In the

past we've had items like

a full set of tires from

Goodyear, jewelry,

handmade arts and crafts

and other items that peo-

ple just donate for a

charitable cause. Last

year the SCD delegates

raised over $3400 at this

event and I know this

year our delegates have

worked hard to obtain

items so that they can

beat last year's donation.

So again, please, if you

want to help out some-

body who is less fortu-

nate than yourself, and

you find yourself in or

around Lawton, stop in,

I'm sure there's some-

thing you can take home

with you.

As to who is going to

call these two events?

I'm very proud to say

that the callers of the

South Central District

Callers Association

will volunteer their

time and energy to

make these two dances

very energetic and en-

joyable evenings for all

who attend. My thanks

goes out in advance

Jerry Stover, Scott

Bennett, Johnny Car-

roll, Tim Tanner, Joe

Crane and Larry How-

ard for all their help. I

also want to thank

Larry Howard, who (I

believe) for being our

auctioneer of the day.

If you have any ques-

tions about either of

these events, please

feel free to contact me,

or any other SCD offi-

cer for information.

And as usual, those of

us from South Central

District cordially invite

you all to any of our

dances. If you find

yourself in the Lawton,

or Chickasha areas

come out and visit us.

We'll be honored to

have you as our guests.

We hope to see you

all soon.

a wonderful buffet din-ner and I am sure the

Biltmore Hotel will

provide us with the very best they have to

offer. Make your room reservations

early for only $69 a room night which in-

cludes a wonderful

Breakfast Buffet.

We will see you on Friday night,

November 1st!!!!

Hi Everyone. Hope you all are re-

covered from the

62nsdc in OKC last month. What a fabu-

lous time!! We got re-acquainted with many

old friends from past conventions and made

a lot of new friends as

well. We are ready now for the Little

Rock, AR 63rd NSDC.

Speaking of be-

ing ready…….we are

so ready for the up-

coming 2013 OSDF

Pre-Party and State Festival scheduled for

Friday, November 1st

and Saturday, Novem-ber 2nd. Pre-party

plans are in the proc-

ess of being finalized at this very moment and

we wish to extend an

invitation for all of you to plan on attending

this wonderful annual event. The pre-party is

a special time where our outgoing Presiden-

tial couple is honored

as well as the ticket sellers who did so very

well with their selling of those tickets for the

Pontiac Trans Am.

Great things are in store for everyone so

make your plans early. Invitations will be dis-

tributed at the OSDF Fall Round-up in Sep-

tember and everyone

is invited. We plan on

have its regular dance on

September 7 with Robert

Hutton calling and the

Plus dance in September

will be the 19th with Don

Main.

As of right now Keyes

does not have any dances

scheduled.

August 23 & 24 many of

the people in our area are

planning on going to

Laveta,Co. to dance with

Jimmy Gouge and

Freddie McKee. It is al-

ways a good time.

Judy Tindell reporting

Summer is passing so

fast and with the recent

cooler weather it is like a

reminder that fall is

around the corner Which

will be great for lessons

to begin and the clubs in

the area will get back to

dancing. Perryton Prome-

naders have been travel-

ing to dance. There were

14 people from the dis-

trict that attended the Na-

tional Convention and

there were reports of

great fun from everyone.

August 3 Cecil Burton

will be calling in Perryton

and August 15 Rod &

Lois Ford will be calling

a Plus Dance. We will be

having a SPECIAL

DANCE on August 28.

We will be lucky to have

Ken Bower calling a

dance at Perryton for the

pleasure of the dancers in

our area. Make plans to

be in Perryton on Wed.

Aug. 28 for a really good

dance. Now we are look-

ing at September and Per-

ryton will begin lessons

on Sept. 9 with Rod &

Lois Ford at the VFW

building. Perryton will

thanked us for our hospi-

are reminded of the dedication, integrity

Although nothing can

dance. There will be a

Panhandle Visit 9 on a

Wednesday night, this will

be a first for us and are

looking forward to that long

drive, but the hospitality

always makes it worthwhile.

Oh look..and smell the

Southern District Visit 9

Bbq is coming!!! If you

haven’t been to this I shall

say you are missing some

great barbeque and fixings!

Last year there were so

many deviled eggs I couldn’t

count them, I am still over-

whelmed by the mere

thought of cracking all

those eggs! There is a V9

medical benefit in SC Dis-

trict and that always is

something to watch and

participate in. Don’t make

any sudden hand move-

ments or you could end up

with a high bid. It’s good

to donate to help the cause

they have chosen yearly.

There are no Visit 9 dances

in September. We hope to

see you at one or all of

these dances. We are en-

joying seeing the Visit 9

dancers at the dances. If

you would like to know

more about the Visit 9 pro-

gram email or call and we

will send you a brochure.

**Always check with

the district before you

travel to a Visit 9 to

make sure there are no

changes**
