Junior Class Raffle Celebration
Thank you to the Junior class for selling the most Raffle tickets. We hope you enjoyed you celebration.
COMPETITION
We would like to start plans to attend the Bailes de Mi Tierra Competition.
February 27th - March 1st
Del Valle High School, Austin Texas
In order to be prepared we will have a hard deadline on November 15th. By this date we need to have your $30 participation fee turned in. This date will not be extended. We will not have a repeat of last year where we had around 10 people by our original deadline (2 months ahead) but had a final number of 50 a month before the competition.
Per usual, money will be refunded only if your class does not go, or if you request it before we send in our entries (since they do not refund).
Please see Pedro if you would like to help organize and prepare for this competition.
GROUP PHOTO
Our annual group photo will be on Sunday, October 19th, at 1:30pm. The location will be at Sunset High School in front of the school on Jefferson.
Please wear your white group tshirt, or a plain white tshirt and jeans.
Please be early since we will be on time to start. Do not call to say you are running late. We cannot hold over 100 people for one or two people.
Once the photo has been taken and we disburse the group we will not put them back together for stragglers. Again we have over 100 dancers to organize.
We will take a large group photo first. Then we will do photos of each class. Once your class photo is complete you may leave.

Reserve Parking
We ask that these first two parking spots be left open and available to Pedro, Jessica and Reeses. Sometimes we stay very late and leave the studio alone. Sometimes we may come during another class. Either way it would be nice if we didn't need to walk far to our vehicles especially if we are alone.
DO NOT PARK HERE EITHER
The end of the block is meant for the people who live at 1345 Plowman Ave.
Do not park here on ANY day.
THEY WILL HAVE YOU TOWED!!!

Water!
SUMMER WEATHER IS STILL HERE and we want dancers to stay hydrated. It's great to see so many people with their own mugs and bottles, but sometimes people forget them. We no longer "sell" water, but we need bottled water available if someone didn't bring their own. If you happen to be at the store, we would appreciate a case of water donated to the group. Please bring the smaller bottles for a quick drink and less bottles left behind.
