September saw two great ABA conventions at “Rollin on the River” in St. Louis and “Bop on the Lake” in Hot Springs, AR. 
This month features a convention at “Move Across the River” in Cincinnati, at least the 8th consecutive year that Cincinnati Bop Club has hosted an ABA convention. Thanks to all these clubs for their wonderful parties and their support of the ABA.
The Bop on the Lake ABA Convention was the site of this year’s Hall of Fame inductions and special awards. Mike and Debbe Lapina of the Chicago Windy City Jitterbug Club and Tom and Edie Polzin of the Memphis Bop Club were this year’s inductuees into the ABA Hall of Fame. This year’s George Baer Award for outstanding contributions to the success of the ABA went to Gary and Charlotte Chaney of South Side Imperial Dance Club in St. Louis. Congratulations to all of these recipients for their well deserved recognition.
