It's soo nice to be able to travel again, gas prices Are high, but having Lyle and Diane O'Hara graciously hosting all of us and giving us space to dry camp in their yard made it more affordable. Yellow rocks to them both ! Sincerely Mae Fawcett Past president of Vernon Star Country Squares Vice President of BCSRDF Along with our regular classes, the Okanagan Cloggin' group has been active this spring doing some demos in Kelowna. In April we danced for the Salvation Army New Vista's Seniors program. We were also invited to the Kelowna Fiddler's dance to work on a collaboration with them and dance to some live music. The first Saturday of the month we have a workshop at the Westside Senior Centre - April's dance theme was "Oldies", and May dance theme will be "Back to the Country". Our yearly Clogover Vine workshop is being held this year at the West Kelowna Community Hall (Westbank Lions Centre) at the beginning of June. Region 2 has recently presented Joe Witiuk with a 5 score badge at the Stardowners Trifle Dance. Joe is 100 years old and still dancing. The B.C. Square & Round Dance Federation will be presenting Joe with a Recognition Certificate for still dancing at 100. See the Region 2 report to the AGM with a photo of Joe and the 2 presenters of his 5 score badge.
