March 24, 2014 Rouff Riders SDC,� DBD Plus Dancing The WASCA Festival was held over the weekend. The dancing took place at a Hilton Hotel in Alexandria, VA. Many of you know my dance partner, Mary Barrett. She�s a highly competent, high level Challenge dancer who enjoys square dancing at any level. She went to the WASCA Festival by herself (I�m still healing after surgery) and discovered the DBD Plus Hall. She told me that she enjoyed the dancing in the DBD Plus Hall even more than the Advanced or Challenge halls. That tells you something. My vision for the Rouff Riders SDC is to develop the dancing skills that are required to succeed in the DBD Plus Hall at the WASCA Festival. I have mentioned in several previous emails that there are clubs in the Washington/Baltimore area that dance at the DBD Plus level. That is the reason that WASCA has a full time DBD Plus Hall. I recommend you consider going to WASCA next year if you like the challenge of Dancing By Definition. In the meantime, come to the Monday night workshops and dances in Sturbridge to develop your DBD Plus skills. � Al Rouff ��

�� April 7, 2013 4 th Annual Antics Square Dance Foundation of New England Benefit dance a Success! We�ve just mounted 4/7/13 at Bay Path Barn, Boylston, MA, near Worcester, another successful April Antics benefit dance on behalf of the Square Dance Foundation of New England. We had a lot of fun plus duets and quartets, delighting staff and 8� squares of dancers while raising hundreds of dollars for the foundation library and museum in Manchester, New Hampshire. Claudia�s Shop was also there to outfit dancers for the April regional convention. Callers who donated their time were Jay Silva, Bob Butler, Al Rouff, Bill Mager, Matt McGovern, Dave Perrault, Dave Hass and Steve Park. They worked with cuer Margene Jervis. Clubs, please hire these generous hearted professionals for your club dances too! Critical to the success of these benefit dances is the team of good hearted Hayloft volunteers who each year help with setup and cleanup and also bring in goodies for the continuous refreshments. Looking ahead to the 5th April Antics Benefit dance on 4/6/2014, we already have the Bay Path barn reserved and Harriet Clarke has offered to cue but will need 8-9 callers once again. The schedule will be 1pm A1, 2:00pm high rounds and a slight change, 2:30pm to 5pm for separate halls of mainstream and plus but all callers in the front hall for a final mainstream tip for all. Dancers and callers, please mark your calendar! Twirly Renee

(Free for the taking!) � AND� We found the artesian well!! � Thank you to all who helped and to those who were there in spirit. There will be some photos sent out soon. In the meantime, when you see the following people please give them a heartfelt THANK YOU! �� Maureen & Pierre Desilets �� Suzy & John Lazarou �� Their children Nathaniel & James �� Barbara & Ed Gebo �� Deanna & Al Randall �� Harlod Eckert & Moe Bracken When you approach the club notice how clean and open the front yard looks. There is a much better view of the building as a result of today's efforts. See you soon.. Moe

Take care,

�� Hazel and Duncan Fenton, two dancers from England, dropped in to dance a few tips at the Hayloft.� It was interesting to hear about dancing abroad. This is the second year in a row the Fentons have visited us.� They were most impressed by two things at the Hayloft: The friendliness of the dancers and the large number of young people dancing. ��
