Dear Fellow Dancers of the New England Area,

As you may have heard, a committee from New England has been preparing a bid to host the National Square Dance Convention in Springfield, Massachusetts in June of 2015.  This would be the 64^th National Convention and could be the first one to be held in New England!  The preliminary steps have been completed with many visits to Springfield and meetings with supportive National Executive Committee advisors to prepare a formal bid.  The proposed venue for the National Convention is the beautiful MassMutual Center and the Springfield Sheraton and Marriott Hotels in downtown Springfield.  These spacious and functional dance, exhibit, and education areas will welcome dancers from around the world.  The staffs and event co-ordinators are working tirelessly with the Bid Committee to showcase not only Springfield, but the entire 6-state New England area.  A 1^st-time visit to New England will be an experience our visitors will remember for a lifetime. 

On Friday, June 24^th, the Bid Committee will be presenting its plan to the nation at the Bid Session in Detroit, Michigan.  Until then, we will be spreading the word around New England and soliciting ideas and assistance from the New England dancers.  Having YOU within your club to generate excitement and encourage attendance at the Bid Session in Detroit is our greatest asset!  Impressing the National Executive Committee is a must! 

The Bid Committee has received sponsorship of the New England Co-Operation Committee and been supported by a donation of that organization.  To help cover pre-convention expenses, we are in the process of planning a fundraising dance.  More information will follow.  We look forward to sharing our New England dancers’ energy and enthusiasm!!

Please come and visit our booth at the New England Convention in April, our exhibit in the Showcase of Ideas in Detroit, Michigan, and at other dance events in your area. 

We’re asking the square dancers of the world to………

EXPERIENCE NEW ENGLAND in 2015!
