Greetings to all, Another year almost gone by. The polka fests are over for another year, and by the looks of the weather outside, it is time to get out the snow blowers. We attended most of the festivals this summer, ending with the Rochester Polkafest. We also attended the New Prague Musicfest sponsored by the New Prague radio station, KCHK. We are proud to have represented the Polka Klub of America, and feel it to be a great honor. We would like to invite anyone to please join the Klub, and possibly be our next royalty. You must be a member for one year prior to being eligible for the nomination for the king and queen. Please contact board members who are listed in the Music and Dance magazine or Mattie or Gene. The nomination meeting and dance is Sunday, Jan. 24 at Pla-Mor Ballroom in Glencoe, MN. The coronation of the new royalty and dance will be Sunday, April 24 at The Kato Ballroom in Mankato MN. These two dances are free to all Po.L.K. of A. members, and $5 for nonmembers. Come and join a fun time, as it is a great place to meet and make new friends. ‘Till next time, happy holidays. Keep smiling and dancing. Arizona Chapter Therese and Larry Gonnering Po.L.K. of A. Ambassadors Larry and Therese Gonnering We arrived in Arizona late Oct 31. Nov. 1, Larry came down with the flu, and I got it a week later. We must have picked up the germ traveling from Wisconsin to Arizona. Therefore, we were unable to attend the first Po.L.K. of A. Arizona board meeting, which was Nov. 7, and our chapter’s first dance Nov. 8, with Julie Lee and Her White Rose Band performing. We also missed our potluck membership meeting Nov. 10. We are now feeling great and enjoy
