The Chairman of the 67th & 68th NESRDC Convention Sheila Moody & Lenny Houle
Welcome Square & Round Dancers!
We are happy to report that the 67th New England Square and Round Dance
Convention seemed to have been a great success. Our committee members worked
diligently to fulfill their job requirements and all were ready to step up to help anyone
else if the need arose. A big “Thank you” and “congratulations” to them all for a job well done.
There were 482 paid, registered dancers. That number does not include callers, cuers
or committee chairpersons. The hotel was completely sold out to persons attending the
convention. We found the hotel management and staff to be very accommodating.
It was reported that there were at least 24 squares dancing on Thursday night at the
Trail-In dance. One exciting fact is that we had 101 persons who registered as new
dancers. It was wonderful to see the halls filled with people enjoying themselves.
There was only one incident of a person falling on the dance floor but we were assured
that there were no injuries.
The live music, Amy Gattlin and the Still Water Band, was greatly received by the
dancers and the concert attendees. Throughout the weekend, we received many positive comments regarding the band, the decorations and the accommodations.
We are looking forward to next year’s convention as we “Swing back to the roaring 20’s.
We hope to see all of you there.
A big Thank You to The Westford Regency Inn Conference Center for being so accommodating to our needs.
Enjoy dancing, meeting old friends and making new ones!!
