THIS MONTH AT
We are excited for a new program at WNH -- the Community Fund. This is a way for dancers who have a little extra money to help those who cannot afford to take classes or come to dances. Anybody can donate, and anyone can ask to be subsidized. Find out details and donate on our website.

Second Wednesdays are Balboa Wednesdays! Come dance in our Balboa Room, shuffle, lolly, and come-around!
It's time for another Clothing Swap! Bring over your NEW or SLIGHTLY USED and CLEAN clothing, shoes, or accessories you no longer want. We'll have a corner where you can put / hang your things and look at stuff that other people brought. If you like something, it's yours! At the end of the night, don't forget to pick up your items that weren't claimed by anyone, as everything that is left behind will be donated. Everyone is welcome to participate! We usually have more things brought than taken, so by all means, stop by and take a look! November 20: Volunteer Appreciation Party w/ DJ Rachel
