Getting Close!

Couple of things, ladies:
 

1.    Troupe fee due this Saturday, April 14th @ Yacht Haven Grande (pay during meeting, after free 9 am Zumba class). If you can't pay then, please make arrangements with me no later than Saturday, April 21st, 2012.  NOTE: Please pay before the final week of Carnival, as traffic and schedules will be very hectic! 

2.    Next meeting: Saturday, April 14th @ YHG, approx. 10 am (after Z class). Reports will be presented by Committee chairs (food, decorations, music, etc.).

3.    Z wear ordered by Joni is here. Yippee! Clothes, headbands, etc. will be distributed to all persons who ordered (after Z class).

4.    Hats are here too.  Thank you Local Color & Jane Higgins Resortwear for this donation! Hats will be distributed on Saturday only to persons who have paid their troupe fee.

5.    It's official...5 cases of water (16.9 oz/35 bottles a case) and 5 cases of Gatorade (20 oz/24 bottles a case) have been donated and picked up.  Gatorade by West Indies Corp. Crystal Geyser water by Bellows International, Ltd.  We appreciate their generosity. Thank you to troupe member Wanda for coordinating this donation! 

6.    We're hoping to have our first choreography practice and decoration committee work group this Sunday if the permission is granted to use the space.  If it doesn't happen Sunday, practices will take place later next week.  Videos of the choreography will also be shared via e-mail or online.

7.    And last but not least, a Rock City Zumba Massive hail-up to our girl Debbie, who's joining the troupe from the Washington, DC area. (A Kean devil ray in the house!) We can't wait for you to join us, Debbie. Have a safe flight next week. See you next Saturday, possibly (free Zumba class at Yacht Haven Grande, Saturdays 9 am)!

And thanks to troupe member Nycole for getting the party started (with the sounds of VI Carnival



 

Until Saturday...
