Our Next Dance
Our next local TFOOTD contra dance will be Sunday, May 24th at Town Apartments North, 1900 61st Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL. As usual, beginner instructions will start at 3:30pm with experienced dancers encouraged to help during that brief introductory period. The dancing will then continue until 7:00pm with additional instructions given as needed for moves that may be less familiar to newer folks.
TFOOTD Board of Directors Elections
The elections for board membership in the upcoming fiscal year were held at the regular 2nd Saturday contra dance at the Polish American Society on May 9th. For this year’s officers, Sarah Mitchell was reelected as President, Lydia Molineaux as Vice President, and Terry Maluk as Secretary. Kathie Aagaard was elected as our new Treasurer following Mary McClead’s resignation from that position, which she held since TFOOTD resumed contra dancing after the Covid pandemic. Many thanks to Mary for the strong improvements to our overall financial position with the investments she made in our asset management during her tenure!
Tap-to-Pay Credit Card Admissions…
…will now be available at TFOOTD contra dances! Instead of processing credit card payments through PayPal and requiring manual entries of your credit card info as we had previously made available, we are now introducing Square Pay to accept credit cards, debit cards, and digital wallets, such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, for admission to our local dances. Don’t want to carry the cash anymore? Feel free to use your electronic payments now! It’s cheaper ($10.50 vs. $11.00) and far more efficient (no manual credit card number entry) than PayPal credit card admissions were.
