The 9th Real Talk episode is on line now on www.learn2step.com. Once again I've been thinking about the whole "steppers name thing" and was wondering what you think are the most unique or the best "steppers names" you have heard. Send me an email and let me know.
I've been getting lots of emails about the WLSC 2008 DVD. It seems everyone wants one of those DVD's... Pete Frazier is the person you must contact about pricing and release dates. If he releases any details, I'll pass the word on to you.
Ken Bedford (www.abcap.org), well known TV camera man and Breast Cancer awareness activist in Chicago, was honored for his Breast Cancer awareness program that pays for free mammogram screenings for unemployed and uninsured women, by President Todd Stroger and the Cook county Board on Thursday. Ken has been involved with the Chicago steppers community for many years. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Every September Ken host's a large breast cancer awareness extravaganza in Chicago where many TV, radio, and Movie personalities attend. Each years entertainment has featured a musical group which was well known in the steppers community.
It's good to see more steppers organizations supporting charitable and non-profits. I remember not too long ago there were hardly any steppers events that supported any of these endeavors. Keep up the good work steppers! That's building the "good karma" for those who participate.
For those who have asked about the Google phone (Called the G1), right now this first generation phone is only available through T-Mobile, but in the near future, will be available from many different providers, unlike the iPhone which is only available through AT&T.

Support the History of Stepping Project

Please copy the message below and send it on to as many steppers as you can please!

This is an open message to ALL steppers. Please share it with as many people as possible.

 As many of you may already know I started a new web site for the benefit of the greater steppers community. It's called History of Stepping Project. I wish to encourage you to add your knowledge to the timeline. If you know anything about stepping, please share this with the public on this site. We are looking for all information related to stepping from it's beginnings to the present. The information literally includes everything from clubs and bars which held steppers sets and parties to contests and the participants and results, to when different steppers organizations and classes started, who the instructors were and are; Musical bands, and artists, DJ's, radio and television personalities, Movies, videos, and photos… literally everything stepping.
Creating an accurate historic timeline will go a long way toward helping the community take the next step in its logical progression as it continues to grow nationwide and will become a valuable resource for all in the future.
Your input, your knowledge and your effort have made the dance what it is today. Don't you feel your place (and your organization's) in the timeline is well deserved? I do!
Please send an email to your members or readers inviting them to participate. Place a link on your web site also please. All support is appreciated!

The effort requires more than just posting the information. The need for fact checkers, people willing to do some research exists in this important ongoing project. Just a few minutes a week can make a difference.

Thank You for your time!
