    orange cookies and have fun. We're a pretty relaxed group, so anything goesas long as you're comfortable and having fun.

    I hope to see you next Monday night at 7:30 pm at the Eureka VatteyRecreation center (100 collingwood st, near l9th st in the castro). If youdon't make it, I'll assume that you're not interested and stop emailing you-no pressure! It was great meeting you last week at Magnet and we'd love tohave you dance with us for the upcoming session.

    Have a great week!Best,Michael

    Hi guys,

    Just wanted to say thanks for coming out to dance with us. I hope you,llcontinue to join in!

    I also wanted to let you guys know that membership dues for western starDancers are flexible and can also be viewed ike a donation. Some membersprefer to pay less han the suggested dues as they would rather contribute byvolunteering to set up for dances, being interviewed for the newsletter, orjust helping to put things away after class s done. Class due help to rent ourspace at Eureka Valley and put on programs for our dancers,

    If money is a concern, Daryl is really flexible and great at working somethingout so everyone can dance and enjoy themselves. Just let him know if you'drather volunteer some of your time in place of paying the fult dues.

    Hope to see you on the dance floor soon!Michael

    Proposal: New Member Recruitment ncentive

    I'd like to propose hat WSDoffer a $5 discount off a member's duesfor referring a new member who oins WSDand pays dues (as anexperienced ancer) or class ees (as a new dancer).

    The new member must not have been a prior member of WSD n thepast who is re-joining WSD. They may, however, be a member ofanother square dance club n the area who wants to also oin WSD..

    To implement he proposal, we need some way of tracking paidreferrals and matching hem with the referring member. One way to dothis would be to add a space on the membership & class orms for thenew member o provide he name of the referring member.

    Upon eceipt of the new member's payment, we could send he currentmember a shoft form letter thanking hem for sharing he fun of WSDdancing with others along with a coupon or $5 off membershiprenewal.

    The ncome gained rom a new member's dues or class ees more hanoffsets he $5 discount, and assists us with our recruitment effofts.

    If this proposal s approved, ets announce t in a coming newsletter,and again before classes egin, and again when membership enewalsare sent out.
