Steven Blankinship as our Friday Night caller. He has called
in the Houston Area in the past. We are looking forward to
hearing him call. We will also be having guest callers on Sat-
urday night. We will be starting with Bill Varley and will also
have Brian White, Gary Sanders, as well as Brice Hesche on
some Saturday nights. We are also planning our Anniversary
Dance in April. We will have Scott Bennett from Oklahoma
as our guest caller. He has called for a number of clubs in our
area over the past few years. It’s not as far to Coushatte RV

PRESIDENTS’ MESSAGE
Welcome to a new year and a new set of officers for HSRDC. We are excited about all of those that are joining us as we set out on a new course for 2018. We are confident that by working together we can build a stronger and better HSRDC. We are pleased that so many of you have agreed to take on a task. We are excited to have Jan Albers, Sally and Phil Henderson, Donna Bowen and Linda Reaves as part of our team.
As Jerry and I look to the future, we have two goals for 2018. The first is to provide guidance and training to the Board so they can lead us into the future. The 2nd is to provide assistance to the Clubs so that they are stronger for the
future. We hope that thru our Facebook advertising we can add to the Club numbers.
We look forward to joining everyone at the Club Anniversaries, Graduations and other Special Dances in the coming year. Be sure to share these dates with everyone on the Special Dance Calendar.
In 2018 we will live…we will love…we will dance. We hope you will join us.
Linda and
Jerry

Everyone Welcome
On Saturday, November 11, 2017 , members from the Sam Houston Square and Round Dance Association challenged our Association, HSRDC, at the Grand Square Teen Schol-arship dance in the event of challenged squares. Added to the fun of dancing until your square was the last still on the floor was the added attraction of being able to pay the judges to stay in as long as your money lasted!!!Well, our team from HSRDC outlasted three other squares.... therefore won the contest! Pictured below are the dancers that represented our district. These dancers are representative of Tomball Promenaders, Bluebonnet Squares, Wildcat-ter Squares, Katy Promanaders, and Camping Squares. Way to go HSRDC!!!
