PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

' '/^SyPvT^^lJKi ^"ne ^enera^ Assembly at the Sonoma Festival passed a balanced- fcn£lffiaff— budget for 1991 - 1992. There was a savings in the cost of printing "Let's

Dance'. We also increased the admission for institutes, the Beginner'sFestival and the Treasurer's Ball. A motion was approved and passed to adda $500 administrative fee for each club who buys insurance from theFederation . This balances the budget for this year, but not neit year andthe year after. We need to look at the future of the Federation.

The federation no longer has enough dancers attending Federationfunctions to support the Federation. That does not mean that we can't

support the Federation, it means we have to change the way we operate.The purpose of the Federation is to promote Folk dancing. One way we dothat is to provide insurance. Even though we have fewer than 80 clubs, weinsure over 3,500 people. If we continue to charge an administrative fee of

$500 per club that will generate approximately $400.00 per year.However, if we charge an administrative fee of 50 cents per member, it willgenerate over $1700.00 per year. This will not overburden the clubs. Theycan pass the cost on to their members. An annual fee of $3.00 for insuranceis no burden. Dancers who dance at more than one club only pay insuranceone time. This idea will work. We need to think about the future of the

Federation, not just our current budget.A great deal of thought, consideration and discussion goes on at the

executive board meetings. Everyone has the same goal in mind. We dowhat is best for the Federation. We try to keep costs down for our members.Our goal is to promote Folk Dancing. If you would like to share your ideaswith me please write to me in care of the Federation office, i would like tohear from you.

The Treasure s Ball is around the corner. Once again there will be

dancing in two rooms, International dancing in one room and Scandinaviandancing in the other. Page Masson, our treasurer, is collecting gifts for theraffle and door prizes. It should be an exciting afternoon with lots ofdancing!

See you there! -- Lupie Barton

THE AMERICAN FOLK DANCE OF THE STATES

The American Folk Dance Committee of LEGACY, along with the National Folk Dance Committee of United Square

Dancers of America, is making steady progress toward the recognition of square dancing as the folk or official dance

of all the states. Legislation has now been approved in 16 states—Oregon, Washingon, Tennessee, Alalbama, New Jersey,

Florida, West Virginia, Oklahoma, California, Idaho, Massachusetts, llllinois, Arkansas, Virginia, Montana and Texas. This

project will lead to resubmitting bills to the federal legislature to make the square dance the National Folk Dance of the

U.S.A., as it is known throughout the world.

The following states have appointed legislative chairmen to work toward the goal: Arizona, Ed and Harriet Kellen; Col¬

orado, Larry and Pat Loeffler; Connecticut, Maatthew Walsh; Georgia, Sam and Carol McClure; Iowa, Norm and Maxine

Richmann; Kansas, Gene and Beth Gieason; Minnesota, Clay and Val Harris (bill pending); Missouri, Dean and Shirley

Baxter; Nebraska, AJ and Doris Moffit; New Hampshire, Dick and Judy Severance; New York, Jerry and Joan Sanford;

North Carolina, Ralph and Mary Ann Kornegay; North Dakota, Lloyd and Cherie Mergel; Ohio, Larry and Edna Flanigan;

Pennsylvania, Bob and Dottie Elgin; Rhode Island, Walter and Priscilla Niederlitz; Vermont, Dorothy Atomanuk; Wiscon¬

sin, Gene and Charlotte Johnson.

These states are needed to complete the picture: Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine,

Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.

Those interested in working on this project or wishing more information should contact Frank and Helen Cavanaugh,

LEGACY chairmen for the American Folk Dance of the States Committee, 20 Wooten Drive in Southampton NJ 08088.
