We have been challenged again this year by the Patricia Anne Hatlen Trust. For every dollar donated through December 2010, the Patricia Anne Hatlen Trust will match it up to $5,000.

Getting things ready for Convention in Chicago. Cannot wait to see all the *New Dancers* who took advantage of the AJH New Dancer Program created in 2005 by Star Thru the Silicon Galaxy! What a wonderful program! Thanks Randy, Paul, Jim and the El Camino Reelers.

We started work on forming All Join Hands Canada Foundation! More to come later.

Thanks to you…we did it again. We met the $5,000 matching challenge grant from the Patricia Anne Hatlen Trust! Thank you for your continued support!

A bylaw amendment was presented at the ARTS Governing Board annual meeting in Newark NJ. The bylaw amendment proposed adding AJH to the Governing Board. By unanimous vote, the bylaw amendment was passed! The Governing Board consists of 10 organizations with 2 of those being Gay! We continue to bridge the gap between the GLBT community and straight dancing!

AJH attended the ARTS Governing Board meeting in Long Beach CA following the National Square Dance Convention and asked to have a seat on the Governing Board.

Patricia Anne Hatlen Trust issues another $5,000 challenge for 2009!

AJH has started the process to form AJH Canada Society and has named Pam Clasper as President of AJH Canada

We did it again! Thanks to all who have supported us in 2008 – we met the challenge and will receive $5,000 from the Patricia Anne Hatlen Trust.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Grace "Mommala" Levine who passed today. The family is requesting friends of Grace “Mommala” Levine to please send a remembrance gift to All Join Hands Foundation in lieu of flowers.
