Bid
Committee For 2015
64th
National Square Dance Convention
Springfield,
Massachusetts
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 64th 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 1st-time
visit to New England will be an experience our
visitors will remember for a lifetime.
On Friday, June 24th,
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!
