Our Weekly Letter for January 11, 2001
 

Dear Friends,

We started the new year with a bang at the Texas Dance/Drill Team Educators convention with over 300 directors and over 100 exhibiter friends. Congratulations to Mike Miller for receiving Hall of Fame honors this year. Also congratulations to Kay Gabrysch for Achievement Award and to Patty Otwell for Director of the Year. These are great honors, indeed!

Here is a thought of the day from the book, "Daily Reflections for Highly Effective People" written by Stephen R. Covey:
"At the very heart of our Circle of Influence is our ability to make and keep commitments and promises. The commitments we make to ourselves, to others, and our integrity to those commitments, is the essence and clearest manifestation of our proactivity."

We were delighted to meet Cary Wiggle from Capetown, South Africa. She was in the U.S. visiting her brother and met us at the TDDTEA convention. Cary is planning to bring her team to the American National Championships in Denton, Texas, March 30-31, 2001. We cannot wait to see her outstanding team! Speaking of international, we can't wait until July, 2001, for the International Championships in Adelaide, South Australia. If you are interested in taking your team to this incredible event, please write us for more information.

Next week kicks off our 2001 contest season with Dancin' on the High Seas competition on Carnival's Fantasy Cruise Ship as well as the Junior Mavericks Competition at Reunion Arena in Dallas. Saturday, January 13th, we have a great one day dance workshop at Duncanville High School where we will have our state kick off for Miss Texas High Kick and Dance/Drill Team Directors of America presents director workshops as well. For more information, write to me.

We all seem to be in a whirlwind starting into contest season. With life so fast and frantic, I decided to send you some one liners to use below. Hope they will help you out of your next "pickle." Have a great week and as always, please keep in touch.
