Ocean Hills Dance Troupe 16 | OHCC LIVING | DECEMBER 2019 | In October of each year, our club has a "Wine and Cheese" event to socialize and present the new board to our members. This year's event was lovely with delicious food prepared by the current board members. Marcia Ward was the head of the nominating committee. She presented the nominees to the club: President, Allison Stewart; Vice-President, Phyllis Buvel; Secretary , Margie Raisigel; Treasurer, Ann Lagasse. Since there were no additional nominations from the floor, these fine people were voted to lead our club next year. Our club has been blessed with members who not only join the club for their love of dance, but want to continue to see our club grow and flourish. Connie Perkins has been President of OH Dance Troupe for two years. She has truly been the force that has helped to increase our numbers of dancers. She has dedicated these past years to make sure all the new dancers get the support they need to feel confident in their dancing. Connie goes to their classes with them and learns the steps and routines taught by Yvonne Romano. Then Connie attends their practices to make sure they are practicing the steps correctly. Connie also helps to lead the advanced tap and jazz practices to assist the "old timers" in their workout. We have been so very lucky to have her our leader for these last years. But Connie will continue doing what she has been doing with the classes and practices because she is steadfast in her desire to improve the quality of our dancing and to increase our ranks. Our new Vice-President, Phyllis Buvel, has been a great President in the past. So she will be able to assist Allison Stewart as she begins her journey with our club. Ann Lagasse is remaining as our Treasurer. I'm leaving as Secretary (Rona Cole), and I know that Margie Raisigel will do an excellent job. I've enjoyed writing these monthly articles, but I am thrilled to hand the torch over to Margie. Connie Perkins and I have new jobs in 2020. We will be the Show Chairs for our upcoming June 2020 show - Dancing Under the Big Top. OH Dance Troupe is not only filled with beautiful and passionate dancers, it is filled with committed members who do a variety of other important jobs. We would love to have you join us if you are inspired to dance!
