A Note From the President
May 15, 2013
Hello Dancers:
I wanted to send a short note to update what has happen so far since the long competition. I had many people who have signed up for committee positions and I thank you all.
The executive board had a phone conference meeting on Monday, May 13 to help in selecting all committees. Each committee will have a chairman and a board officer assigned to each committee. They will follow through in making sure each committee is completing the responsibilities they are assigned. The chairperson will communicate to the assigned board member with any issues. Board members will report back to executive board with all actions. Please check on the web-page for the committee you may be assigned to.
The board also discussed the issue about dressing rooms for the dance-off in October. The officers of ACHF will do everything possible to have one dressing room for the girls/ladies at the stomping grounds and try to move the boys/men to the room where the females were changing uniforms. We will pass more information on this as we obtain it.
I spoke with many dancers and many have said they do not want to leave the Stomping Grounds. It was expressed that when you walk into the building, the first thing you see is the showcase of awards, then, all the pictures, and all the Hall of Fame plaques. There is a lot of history here and more history to be made. ACHF is made up of dancers that love to dance on a wooden floor and many have made it clear that they are not looking for glitches and glamour. I will do my best to keep everyone posted on relative issues and news. I am very proud to be able to serve an organization with so many wonderful people. Many thanks to all who have supported me to be ACHF’s president.
