Update

It has become evident that some organizations have not been inclined to notify me of an event. And it should be by all rights their decisions. For some this was been established a long time ago and it has not been a problem. Most everyone is well aware that I believe that everyone should do as they wish and I will respect.

I have an increasingly amount of ground to cover so that I am limited. And then too, there are many things that can go wrong, Fortunately in the West, we have Kapolei Chapter HBDA, Wahiawa Ballroom Dance Club and Pearlridge Chapter to raise the Public Relations for all the Dancers in the area. And I welcome any others that are willing to share with their fellow dancers.

I try and I want to help but when it becomes clear that I am not really helping someone, then I must drop them and respect their wishes. As long as everyone understands what is happening we should be just fine. I try to help all, and when I am ignored, may I ignore them? I have a lot of work ahead of me and I must be on my way.

Meanwhile, the West side of this island is rolling along just fine. There are more people becoming aware of our type of dancing, and the Recreational dancer is becoming more prominent. We welcome any new contributors of information and/or photos from anywhere to share with out fellow dancers. Eventually, those contributors of information and photos will run the hits up into the stratosphere.

Dancing for the pure enjoyment of moving to our kind of music is our thing. But some adhere very closely to their disciplines and we should respect. The recent invasion of International Style into the West should be understandable for those that are going to be participating in the competitions, for that is the "raison d'etre." You have a reason and all of should respect.

I also would like to thank all the particpants in the photos. We haven't had a refusal for over six months. Very Good. For any of you contributing photos, make sure you do not have a party pooper that goofs it up for everyone else. For all the rest of us, we are well aware of what photos do for everyone. And they can be enjoyed in the blogs in full color at your leisure.

I also have to work on quotes from my many friends and I know everyone has got one. This is all taking time and our fellow dancers are gradually understanding the entire enchilada. Nevah been done? I know it and most of you too. Social Media is what we will establish and these are the blogs that are going to do it.
