A Square Dance Friend Needs Our Help

On December 22, 2000, Bill Crawford, Mr. Square Dance in the Mid?South, suffered a tragic home fire which resulted in a total loss of the home and most of its contents.

Bill, a square dancer for almost fifty years, has served the local and national square dance community in many ways. He was editor of the Memphis area newsletter, Listen to the Caller, for forty-five years and continues to serve as Editor Emeritus and Chairman of the first Mid-South Square and Round Dance Festival thirty-eight years ago. He served as the eighth president of the Greater Memphis Square and Round Dance Association. Bill continues to serve as "unofficial coffee maker" for many Memphis dance clubs and activities, as well as innumerable other ways both in the public eye and behind the scenes.

Bill served as a Legacy trustee, as Publicity Chairman of the 29th National Square Dance Convention, and on various committees for the 39th National Convention. In 1999, for the first time in memory, Bill missed a National Convention Publicity Breakfast, the 48th, because of declining health.

On January 8, 2001 the Memphis Callers Workshop sponsored a benefit dance which local dancers supported in style. Dancers and friends from the world over are encouraged to come to the aid of one of our own who has dedicated so much of his time and energy to our activity through the years.

Donations and correspondence can be mailed to Bill in care of Bill & Margie Terrell, 4774 McCrory Ave., Memphis, TN, 38122?1829. For additional information , visit the web site at www.MemphisSRD.com
