Just got a letter from Callerlab today that I'm one of thirty-three callers scheduled to get their "25 Years of Square Dance Calling" certificate this year at the convention in April.

After 3 years in a row of attending, this year is the year I'm NOT going to Callerlab because of the conflict with the GCA School.

Shoot.

Doh! Figures.

That's okay. I'd much rather be in DC!

Barry got his letter too - and we will be at CALLERLAB. Becoming a board member, and both of us being committee chairs doesn't leave much choice. I actually enjoy the convention.

As den mother, I definitely plan to be back at the GCA School next year.

I think they give the certs out the next time one DOES attend a convention. I wasn't expecting it until '10, since I started calling in Sept 84, but I guess it's just the YEAR.

My understanding is that they mail out the certificate, and you get recognized at the next convention you attend. Niagara Falls in '10?

Very possibly! Maybe Danny and I will get married and honey moon there! ;-)

CALLERLAB is in Niagara Falls, NY, but I'm sure you could come across the border to get married. Ontario has no residency requirement, but you should be in the province for a day or two to get the licence, etc. The convention is March 28-31 in 2010. We'd love to help you two get married!

Congrats

Congrats on your accomplishment. That is a long time and you should be proud, even if you won't be there in person.

Thanks! Longevity has something going for it! :-)

Hope you all warm up soon. We're enjoying a minor heat wave of temps in high 50s!
