Mary Ann Nordeman -- Candidate for President
|
My love of dancing started at a very young age when my mother taught me the Charleston and a high school friend taught me how to Jitterbug to Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock".
I was born and raised in the Midwest but have been in California for 50 plus years. Been married, widowed, have three sons that live locally and a daughter in Memphis.
Line dancing has been one of the greatest joys in my life, not only the dances themselves but more importantly all of the wonderful people I have met.
Thank you,
Mary Ann Nordeman

Barbara Miranda -- Candidate for Vice President
|
I'm Barbara Miranda, a candidate for the position of SDNLD Vice President. My involvement with San Diego 'N' Line Dancers goes back to the first year of its inception. At that time I had relocated to North County after retiring as Financial Analyst from my company.
Line dancing has been a part of my life for over 17 years. I started teaching it over 8 years ago and participate in instructing at both the intermediate and beginner workshops. I regularly attend the monthly socials and have been serving on the Socials Committee since its origin.
If elected as a board member, I will do my best to fulfill the obligations assigned to this position with integrity and along with the other officers, help guide the club in a positive direction.
Thank you,
Barbara Miranda

Carol Roland -- Candidate for IDA Delegate
|
I'm Carol Roland, candidate for the position of IDA Delegate. I currently represent SDNLD at the bi-monthly meetings of the International Dance Association of San Diego County serving as First Vice President of Publicity.
As a long time resident of California, I retired from the Child Development Program with the San Diego school system. Learning the Electric Slide at a wedding was my introduction to line dancing. This prompted me to seek out classes offering this great form of exercise that has both physical and mental attributes. Many people who share this passion have become my extended family.
As part of the initial group of instructors and students looking for a hall to hold dance socials in an alcohol free environment, we applied to the IDA with this proposal. It would include persons of all ages and abilities. The IDA accepted us as a non-profit organization on July 8, 2001 and the San Diego 'N' Line Dancers was born. As the first President of SDNLD, I served in that position for several terms.
I feel strongly about the privilege of using the facilities that Balboa Park offers and the future of San Diego 'N' Line Dancers.

I have been line dancing for about four years and I have been a member of the San Diego 'N' Line Dancers for approximately three years. I have served as the club Secretary for almost one year, and I have been managing the club email and phone message system for the last three years. I have performed with the San Diego 'N' Line Dancers at the San Diego County Fair and also the International Dance Festival and I have attended as many club functions as I can including monthly dance socials, workshops and numerous dance events to be a representative of our club in the various venues.
Your vote will guarantee continuity in the secretary position.
Thank you,
Richard Hamlin

Richard Sandvig -- Candidate for Treasurer
|
Born into a Navy family, I spent my formative years in Pensacola, FL. I attended the University of Florida in Gainesvile and then went on to my own career in the submarines. In 1993 I was brought to San Diego on assignment to the USS Dixon. In 1994 I retired from the Navy and later did some work for H&R Block. I have been line dancing for about 4 years. I attend classes in Rancho Bernardo with Cathleen Bossaller on Tuesdays and on Wednesdays I can be found at Sandy Stuarts class at Padre Gold. On Thursdays I will usually be at Lacey Js in Santee learning a new dance from Cathie Lopez. I am married to Lauren Hughes whom I met while living in Hawaii. We now live in Ocean Beach.
I have been Treasurer since July 2011 and have implemented several changes to streamline the job. With the continued help of Sandy Stuart I believe I can serve effectively as your Treasurer.
Thank you for your support.
