ODS is looking for a suitable venue for October’s Ontario Open Championships since the International Plaza hotel is not available. Anyone knowing of a suitable venue (community centre / banquet hall) in the GTA please contact me asap.

The Champions of Tomorrow will be the last competition that Kam Young, ODS Entertainment Director, due to his daytime work commitments, will be the Entertainment Director & competition registrar for ODS events. If you think you or somebody you know might be willing to take over this task of ODS Entertainment Director please contact me before April 1st, 2014. Kam is prepared to teach you all that is required. Thank you Kam for taking on this job for ODS for the past 2 years.

In late May you will be receiving your ODS 2014/15 membership forms & AGM information package. See you at June’s Champions of Tomorrow.

Yours in dancing
