About floor etiquette:

Because of the higher attendance that we have been experiencing recently, there have been a couple complaints about the dance floor becoming too dangerous with some dancing collisions.  Please be careful when you're on the floor so we do not have too many bruised ankles and feet.  We all know that it gets crowded most Sundays, so please remember to be aware of where you are going! Thanks!

Sincerely,
BDC President
