LINE DANCERS:
Here is the big addition for 2012. We always have a Thursday night welcoming party. It is not included in the week end pass but is only $8 at the door. This year we have added the Dunwoody room, which is the second Ballroom, for a line dance room on Thursday night!!. Louie St George will be the DJ in the Line Dance ballroom and Mona Broussard will be the DJ in the Main ballroom. One arm band gets you in both rooms so you can run back and forth from one room to the other. We will have a 30 minute class in the Line Dance Room by one of our nationally known instructors at no extra cost.
The Hotel is the Crowne Plaza Ravinia. There reservation # is 770-395-7700. Make your reservations at this number and NOT the national number for Crowne Plaza or on their website… Must use the local 770# to get the Peach State Dance Festival rate.
If you have questions, I am at peachstatedance@mindspring.com or peachstatedance@comcast.net
PEACH STATE is the third week-end of March as always. This year that is March 15-18.

McDONOUGH classes CANCELED for now….
I have some bad news... On Friday at work, I dropped a desk on my toe while moving furniture. After going to the ER on Moan-day to get x-rays, I have a very bad contusion (no fracture though), so I have been placed in an orthopedic shoe and will have to cancel Sunday classes until further notice... If the swelling and bruising doesn't go down by next Monday, I have to go to an orthopedic doctor for further diagnosis. I'm so sorry to do this, but there is just no way that I can dance at this point and you know this is going to be so hard on me!! Hopefully, it's not any worse so I won't be out of commission for that long... Thanks so much for understanding!!

Our special guest instructor is Kenny J of Burlington N.J. He is the Founder and CEO of I am Kenny J Productions, a dance organization that specializes in dance entertainment, performance and instruction. His organization is established as one of the most philanthropic organizations in the dance community serving the entire Delaware Valley Region in its effort to reach and promote the virtues of line dance. "Footwork with a Purpose" is its creed and has become a very visible presence in the lives of many. Originally from Baltimore Maryland, Kenny J, now a Burlington NJ resident, is a retired Army First Sergeant and ex-drill Sergeant. In 2004 he was called to serve in IRAQ under Operation Iraqi Freedom and by the grace of God he has since returned and catapulted into becoming a major entity in the R&B/Soul line dance world.
A former member of the Dave Bush Dancers out of Philadelphia, PA, his special style of dance and ability to connect with people has provided him the opportunity to perform in various venues throughout the country. His impact on others, however, reaches far beyond his fancy footwork. He is recognized by his peers as one of the most prominent instructors in the line dance community with his ability to captivate audiences. In 2008, he was voted entertainer of the year at the UC Awards, a Maryland line dance awards ceremony. Kenny J's success has taken him throughout the country to do workshops and performances, in places like Salina, Kansas at the Smokey Hill River Festival; Columbia, Missouri at the Columbia Arts Festival, Los Angeles, California and a host of others.
Workshop tickets are $15 (Advance ticket sales only) limited space 10:00am - 1:00pm Come & learn some of the most popular East Coast line dances/hustles.

Singles Dances Atlanta Update: * 265 Singles Joined us last week... This week you should come to Mardi Gras
* Singles Dances Atlanta's Smokey Mountain Singles Chattanooga Dances is gathering more local support from multiple Singles Groups and we still are contacting an estimated 300 local church and spreading the word about what could be a huge first night dance with Several Hundred singles from the Chattanooga, Dalton, Rome and NW Georgia areas as well as over to Knoxville and Nashville. The word is getting out on the Grapevine pretty quickly!
Many of our Singles from Acworth/Cartersville all the way up to the Tennessee line are making plans to come and support this dance.
www.SmokeyMountainSingles.com for more information
I am very encouraged by what has happened over these last 4 months because we are seeing lots of new singles join us. ALL YOU NEW SINGLES THAT HAVE CAME THESE LAST 4 MONTHS... ALL OF YOU come back ON THE SAME NIGHT this Friday and let's have another great dance with many new singles mixing with our friendly regulars.
Here's a little Pep Talk for all of you that have signed up to receive the emails and Never have came to your first dance... If you are staying home... it's NOT Fun...OUR Singles have FUN! If you want to have FUN, meet new friends and dance and mingle....You've got to join us for your first dance for the Mardi Gras Party because we will help you get your single life back into the groove again. When you participate and ask people to dance, you will also get asked to dance. The more people you speak with and dance with, your "fun level" will be a quantum leap over sitting home and being bored and lonely. Last week, we had over 110 Singles join us for the first time and in the first hour, they were already dancing with people they have never met before and having fun. I know that several of them will come back on the 24th to meet even more friends. Regulars... I expect many of you to join us for Mardi Gras. We will have a Queen and King of Mardi Gras. Details at the dance!

14. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
15. Honk if you love peace and quiet.

17. Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how it remains so popular?
18. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

For the Good of the order
Thyroid cancer (Copied)
On Wednesday, Dr. Oz had a show on the fastest growing cancer in women, thyroid cancer. It was a very interesting program and he mentioned that the increase could possibly be related to the use of dental x-rays and mammograms. He demonstrated that on the apron the dentist puts on you for your dental x-rays there is a little flap that can be lifted up and wrapped around your neck. Many dentists don't bother to use it.
Also, there is something called a "thyroid guard" for use during mammograms. By coincidence, I had my yearly mammogram yesterday. I felt a little silly, but I asked about the guard and sure enough, the technician had one in a drawer. I asked why it wasn't used regularly .
Answer: "I don't know. You have to ask for it." Well, if I hadn't seen the show, how would I have known to ask?
We need to pass this on to our daughters, nieces, mothers and all our female friends and husbands tell your wives. I hope you pass this on to your friends and family.
