Dear Sam,
The Western Dance Association Board of Directors convened No-
vember 1,1, 1974 and voted to commit the Association to the sum
of $2,000.00 towards the purchase of a larger house-trailer
for the caretakers at Sullivan Park.
If and when this comes to pass we would appreciate thirty (30)
days notice as to the time the money is needed. We are happy
to be able to make this committment.
Sincerely,

TO ALL PERSONS, CLUBS AND /OR ASSOCIATIONS WHO ENJOY THE USE OF
THE WESTERN DANCE CENTER:
We seem.to be having.a.communication -gap in some areas regarding
renter- caretaker duties. In fairness to all and so there will be
no name- dropping, we felt it_best to notify each user and we all
can join in to help relieve any problems that might - occur°
The kitchen" seems to be causing the most heart -burn! We would
hope it could be left after.use just as you would like to return '
to .it. There is a separate container for coffee = grounds -only and
it'is preferred that the grounds never be put in the sinks, There
is cleanser and soap for your convenience - so the sink and counter
tops can be left in ship -shape condition. And yes, we are subject
to criticism too - when we have thought the kitchen well equiped
with necessary supplies'- we have found this not to be true. Much
time has.been spent discussing a better system and after weighing
all pros and cons, your Board has decided it would.be to everyones
advantage to have each renter furnish their own supplies when using
the Hall for dances, classes, workshops or meetings. We will still
furnish the coffee urns, tea pots and usual kitchen equipment for
your use. As of January 1, 1975 - each Hall user will be responsible
for furnishing plates, cups, plastic table -ware, sugar, cream and
coffee for each of their functions. It is sincerely,hoped.that.this
will.prove to be a satisfactory venture.
The is notz to be used on any occasion. Coffee saturated
cloths have been placed in the washer and have left stains and the
..sponge pad has been used to catch coffee drips. These items .belong
to the caretaker and we should respect the fact that they are pri-
vate property.
The condition of.the Hall after a buddy dance leaves much to be de-
sired - cigarette butts stamped out on the floor, etc. We have been
told that a new prospective dancer can't be bugged by the enforcement`
of common -sense rules and courtesies. We find this difficult to
swallow --if beginners are so inclined to be destructive and ignore
the posted rules regarding .smoking and eating only in the dining area
we wonder why. it is felt that they would ever be an asset to the
"whole of square dancing. Think about it! Besides ruining the floor
.with the cigarettes - we must enforce the no- smoking.in dance area
to comply, `with County Fire Regulations..
Every once in a =.~bile windows are left open_ and doors are left un-
looked - we need your help in- a security check. after . each function.
Page 2
November 18, 197
We're proud of the Hall - it's a
wonderful place to dance and we
surely hope it can be,kept that way. As you know, the rental fee
Is minute in comparison to.the average
hall used for dancing.
With the co- operation of all users
- it can be kept.that way. If
additional.help is needed for maintenance
-� it is only natural that
the added eXpense be passed on to
the renter. We ask your assist-
ance in carrying out the security
check -list that is posted above
the light switches at the Hall.
This is not meant to be a 'picky'
notice - we just .want to bare
the facts. With the co- operation
of all - we ' re. sure the problems
can be remedied and everyone will
benefit.
Happy dancing,.
