"MEDINA BALLROOM WEDNESDAY NIGHT DANCES ARE IN JEOPARDY
. . . .Bob Raskob, the owner , . . . is considering eliminating dances if things do not pick up this fall. It 
would be a shame for that to happen. The Medina has a fabulous dance floor. It needs to have its dances better attended, lest it go the way of other large ballrooms. If you can, please attend Wednesday nights . . . . . tell/write/call Bob and say what should be changed (type of band, music, ambience, whatever) . . . please share this information with your friends/students/instructors. Many thanks. . . . " -Jim Uttley, Dancer
