Hi MDSers,

For those of you that don't know, the club has been in existence for 30+ years - quite staggering!!! In its infancy MDS was known as the Monash Ballrom Society, largely a "Modern and Ballroom" club. Over the years its grown in members and also in styles that we offer; from Jazz to Hip Hop, and Tango and Ballet, whilst still continuing with teaching Modern and Ballroom, where we started - just a bit of history! As a club we now boast 250+ members just in Semester 1, and we are still growing!

We as a club every year we have our Annual General Meeting (AGM) to re-elect our Executive and General Committee for those of you interested in joining this awesome club! The roles across both teams are as follows:

Executive
President
Vice-President
Secretary
Treasurer
Publicity Officer(s)
Events Officer(s)
Website Officer

General
General Committee work across various events and teams to help with promoting, publicising, O-Week stalls, class minding etc

If you are currently part of our General committee and would like to take the next step to our Executive committee where you can take ownership of one of the roles, here is your chance! Also, if you are a member of MDS and would like to be involved with a club like ours, have a lot of great ideas, or have been part of similar dance clubs before we want to hear from you!!!

As we've done in the past for committee members, we're more than happy to write reference letters indicating that you've been part of our committee; indicating what a great job you've done. Apart from this, there are other incentives of being part of our committee, such as special prices on classes, and most importantly the satisfaction that comes with contributing and enjoying being part of great club like MDS!!

The AGM is:
WHEN: Friday 22nd May
WHERE: West Wing Central Room, Campus Center
TIME: After Medal Nite (i.e. 9.30pm -10pm)

If you have any questions email: info@monashdancesport.org

Cheers
Sheldon & Eddie
Co-Presidents MDS
