From the Editor’s Desk

Welcome to the ABA news, communicating with and supporting the member clubs of the American Bop Association. This newsletter is your forum for discussing ABA events, activities, policies, business, the how and why we did that, and just plain old fashioned “pass the word” concerning the ABA and your club.

This quarter’s newsletter has a variety of articles, all of which are good reading. You can learn how a club can be a member of ABA, read about local events at Spa City, hear the scoup about those signs that you see at the weekend parties, learn about a spinning logo light, understand what it takes to have a dance team for the first time, and find out about an ABA crusie Give Away party.

Now it’s your time to tell us what happens at your club or share an idea. This a good time to begin thinking, writing, and rounding up those pictures for the 1st of December issue of the ABA news. Feel free to send article to me when you complete it. You do not have to until December 1st.

The remaining articles talk about great ABA weekend events and parties. If you know Butch and Betty, you’ll especially want to read what happen at Boogie on the Riverwalk. Don’t stop there, keep reading about the other parties that just took place and the up coming ABA Convention at Cincinnati in November.

Once again, a big Thank You to everyone submitting articles

and to Gary, our ABA President, for encouraging people to write their articles.
