Hello Everyone!
The Safari Swing came together just as we and the entire committee hoped it would. On Thursday afternoon, when all the prep work in all of the buildings and halls was complete, it seemed that something was missing. We couldn't quite put our finger on what it was that we had missed. On Friday afternoon at 1:00 pm that question was answered. What was missing was YOU the dancers. YOU are what make these State festivals what they are, for without you, all the great preparations in the world mean nothing. Looking out on the dance floor and seeing all 954 smiling faces, put a smile on our faces and the preparations were then complete. So again, we on behalf of the CSSDA and the entire Safari Swing Festival Committee, we thank you, our dancing friends, for attending this festival and helping to make the Safari Swing one of our most rewarding experiences.

Below you will find a questionnaire. If you have not already done so, please take a moment to let us know how we did on specific things. We want your input for future festivals. We have a report that we are required to give at the CSSDA quarterly meeting at the end of July. We will include the information that you provide to us in that report. We will also provide you with the results of the questionnaire in our final Safari update. Please highlight, copy and paste the questionaire into an email and send it to us at lindamaegoble@msn.com. Once again, thank you so much for all your support and keep that smile on your face.

We will look forward to dancing with you in Keystone Colorado for the 55th Colorado State Square Dance Festival, Sundance Spin. You can go to their website at www.sundancespin.com.
