CRDA HISTORY

CRDA was founded 7 May 1961 under the guidance of Jack & Darlene Chafee, Art & Hermina Slack, and the Kansas & Missouri Round Dance Associations with 68 charter members. On 27 May 1961 CRDA held its first organizational meeting. At this meeting, the By-Laws and the Constitution were approved, and the first members of the Board of Directors were selected. 20 June 1961 marked the first publication of the newsletter, and by then the membership had increased to 80 couples.

 

Since these first formative years, CRDA has enjoyed a continuing success. Many activities are sponsored by CRDA each year, including an October Gala weekend, a spring graduation dance, an intermediate Midwinter's Dream dance, monthly fun dances throughout the year, the top-rated website http://www.crda.net, and our Round Notes newsletter.

 

CRDA is staffed by dancers and instructors who make contributions of their time, energy, knowledge, and skill. CRDA is managed by a Board of Directors consisting of 9 couples elected from the general membership.
