Huntsville Swing Dance Society newsletter

(Some info in this newsletter is old. I originally sent it last week but, due to a computer error, it didn't actually send. I apologize for the mistake.)

(And then, the second time I went to send it, my password expired so it wouldn't send. again. Sorry, again, for this being so late.)

Foreword:
I'm sorry I'm getting this out so late. With the Holidays, today was my first chance. The January dance is coming up very quick, (the 14th). Also, the February dance will sneak up on you. It's the 4th! (Only day we could get the flying monkey.)

Also, since it's a slow month, I've included a reminder of the regular events which go on here and in Nashville near the end of the Newsletter.

And Hey! The HSDS Facebook group is getting near 300 members! Help get us there. Invite your dance friends to join: https://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/groups/HSVSwingDance/.
