We are Jim and Betsy, Directors of International Publicity for the 54th National Square Dance Convention. It will be held on June 22, 23, 24, and 25 in Portland Oregon. We expect this to be the best attended National Convention in many years. In particular, we expect to have more dancers from outside the USA than in many, many years. We know there will be many from Germany, Austria, Sweden, Japan, England and elsewhere. We hope you will be able to join us. With the current drop in the the Dollar agains the Euro, this is the year to vist the USA.
