"What an exceptional weekend! My daughter says that everyone is talking on Facebook about what a great time they had. I think you can count on a large group of young people telling their friends and coming back for another great year in 2009! I appreciate all you did to make the weekend so smooth."
-- Gaye Fifer
"There's no other dance weekend I've found that can hold a candle to the Whirl for excitement, setting and downtime activities."
--Ted Duncan
"I'd like to say I, too, had a great time. What a privilege to be part of such a successful and happy event."
-- Jim Hatfield
"Your willingness to serve in multiple ways and create an experience in which people of differing interests and skills could feel valued and included is truly a marvelous thing. Makes me wanna dance..."
--Trish Hatfield
I am a big fan of WWW, so I don't see a whole lot of room for improvement. As I've told everyone, the music and calling was off the charts, amazingly good. The West Virginia countryside and campout experience make it a particularly special dance experience. The schedule and content is first-rate. It draws a really friendly and fun group of dancers too. The food and group meals are a big plus. The weekend is a great value too.
