Letter from our secretary….
Hi, I’m Sharon Odom, your newly elected secretary of the Gumbo Chapter and I’d like to make a quick announcement regarding the USA Dance Gumbo Chapter #5031, formerly out of the New Orleans area. This Chapter has a new name: “USA Dance LA Gumbo Chapter 5031,SE Louisiana” . After suffering from the Covid era, a new Board of Directors will be installed in January 2025. Dolores Dufour, Janice Barrios, James Heath and I will be part of that Board of Directors along with its President Kerry Lovell.
The goals for next year will include
- Beefing up membership and recruiting committee members,
- Expanding the geographic reach to all of Southeast
Louisiana,
- Providing information about area dance events,
programs, and gatherings, and
- Reaching out with dance programs throughout our schools
and communities.
Please consider joining Chapter #5031 so you can be included in the exciting future we are planning! You can also find membership applications and more national information at usadance.org and join our local Facebook Group “USA Dance LA Gumbo Chapter 5031, SE Louisiana.”
Please let me know if you have any ballroom dance events or events of interest to ballroom dancers that you would like to be added to the email distribution.
