Hi Country Friends,
It was wonderful to see so many people at both of our new dance locations in Deer Park and Babylon, and a special welcome to the new people who attended. We want to extend a big welcome and say thank you for joining the association and helping to support country music and dance in our area. Our next dance, May 17th, will be held at the Hibernian Hall in Babylon. Every hall has advantages and challenges, so as we work through these changes please continue to give us feedback. As we begin our planning for 2015 we hope to be able to establish a location that works the best for our organization and will feel more like home each month.
Our association doesn’t host dances during July and August because of all the summer activities and vacation schedules, but that doesn’t mean we stop dancing or looking for cool places to enjoy country music. To help make it easier to locate country events supported by our members and advertisers continue checking our “Events Calendar” located on our web site (licma.org). We are planning to send out an e- mail update during the summer with more “real time” country event information, so continue sending country news events that you think we all would enjoy to our e-mail box LICMA@ yahoo.com. Also, please continue to share news on our Face- book page - let the group know where you’re dancing tonight – it’s always more fun when we’re joined by friends.
Newsletter Request – After many years of being the newsletter editor Bill would like to pass this responsibility on to a new person. Our newsletter is one of the important com- munication tools we use to keep our community connected so we are looking for a volunteer or perhaps a team of two people to continue to manage this important publication. Please see a job description on page 5 and call or send me a note if you are interested in learning more about this position.
On behalf of the entire LICMA board, we would like to say thank you to the many volunteers who share this hobby and donate their time to make your association events pos- sible. Please continue to show your support for the country bands, teachers, and sponsors that support our activities by at- tending their events and using their services. Have a wonder- ful summer and we look forward to seeing you soon.
“LICMA is FUN Country”
