Cotillion Club

Our last cotillion dance for the 2018 season was held on June 5, with 51 people present for a nice dinner at the Austin Country Club and dancing to The Big Band, which was wonderful.

We in Austin are very luck to have this 17-piece band and look forward to their return next June 2019 as it’s our 100th year, which is something to celebrate.

Committee chairs were Dale Nelson and Kay Miller; LeRoy Koch and Mary Wolcott; Tom and Marion Niemiec. Guests were LeRoy and Theresa Blades, Gordy and Ruth White; Ione McClelland; Brad Turner and Bobby Mestratta; Jim and Merlene Stiles; Linda Maschka; Gene and Sally Gerhart and Brad Dalager.

Dances for next year, 2018-2019, will start again in October, November and December and May, June. Anyone interested please call Marge Murach at 1-507-433-1590 for more information.
