Garland Simpson (Lily's)
Brian Youmans (Amanda and Allison's)
Darrell Rediger (Daylen's)
James Goltz (Grace's)

SOF Dance Company, Inc.
As most of you know, SOF houses a non-profit dance ministry whose goal is to spread the Gospel of Jesus. Each fall, the company dancers (who are fellow dancers here at SOF) perform at area festivals and area churches. The four levels of company dancers aged 8-young adult will be ministering in dance and song at Roselawn, and Relay for Life (Sr. companies only) (see days on reverse). We would love to have you all come out to support us. The companies will be producing the eighth full-length Nativity Ballet this December. (Some classes will be invited to join them!)
We are ready to go to any church or ministry location should we be invited. If your church would like a promotional DVD about this ministry, please see Tonya. If you would ever like to make a tax-deductible donation to the ministry, we will gladly give you a receipt! We are a 501C organization. Any support blesses us tremendously!
Look this fall for various fundraisers that help support the Company, including inspirational calendars, and COOL car decals. Please be in prayer for us as we prepare for the many ministry opportunities He is giving us! We value your prayers more than anything!!

Administration Notes
Thanks to all of you who have done a SUPER job of paying for your tuition and fees in a timely manner. August tuition is due on the first class this month. All other months are due on the 10th of that month. Like last year, we will be adding a late fee of $5 for everyone who does not pay by the 15th. Checks with insufficient funds will incur a service charge of $10. As you know, we are very flexible. We will gladly hold checks for you or allow you to make other payment arrangements. But PLEASE, do discuss any problems you may have with our office manager, Ms. Tonya or Ms. Julie. We cannot help if we do not know! If you still owe owe for any summer classes, please pay now.
There is a payment box in the lobby for your convenience or you may hand your payment to someone at the desk. (Please do NOT leave it on the desk). We will be passing out payment envelopes at the end of this month (once everything settles down) with which you may make all your payments and which will serve as your “bill”. Remember DO NOT SEAL the envelope so that we can use it again each month.

Welcome to our 13th Year at SOF!
I believe that God has many good things planned for us this year. We have a record size Company for ministry, many returning faces, and many new faces. Our summer has been FULL. Mission trip to Trinidad, four almost full DanceCamps, and four wonderful weeks of Summer Intensive. It’s hard to believe that fall is already here. I am so excited and ready to go. We are looking forward to giving you and your family the best instruction and loving service possible! 5

Miss Ashleyanne, Miss Rachel, and Miss Natalie are all returning this year!!
