Rockette Alumnae Dancers in action. |
Dear Rockette Alumnae, In serving on the board of the alumnae and in talking to so many of you during these years, I have given much thought about our association and how we can grow and make a difference and utilize all of the talent and energy that I know my sister Rockettes possess. I have heard the same overriding theme from so many members. Large numbers of you felt disconnected because of not being able to attend meetings and sometimes not being able to make the big events, mostly because of location and expense. You feel that you have no direct contact with the officers and the board and therefore no real input. We have come up with an idea that we think will involve each of our members directly. By creating designated regional areas of the country, headed by one person, a LINE CAPTAIN. we can define and address the issues of each member. Each member could stay close in touch with her line captain and let her know all wishes and desires. She in turn would send this information back to me or a designated member of the board and we could consider your ideas and put them into action. Our meetings are a great place to do this. If you are interested in becoming a line captain, please just let me know. You will need to be good with the computer so that you can e-mail and have time to spend on the phone and of course you must be available. I have put together a list of people that I know would be good at this job and who have voiced their interest in becoming LINE CAPTAINS. They are as follows: Sharlene Kessler Pennsylvania Betty Dammert Kentucky Harriet Mueller Georgia Andrea Bekkenhuis Florida Carla Drumm Webber Oregon Carolyn Dutra Rhode Island Joy Gibbons South Carolina Sue Bono Texas You can let me know your thoughts by phoning me at 201.871.0130 or e-mail: summerkicks@aol.com We would like to have every alumnae have a voice in this organization and a greater opportunity to attend meetings, lunches, and galas. I know this is how we can make this happen. In short: We all need to revisit and celebrate those precious years of our Rockette lives and relationships. Let's do it!!!!! With love and eye hi' kicks, Patty DeCarlo Grantham |
