Such a lovely write-up, and yet, a low turn out last night.
I am happy with my preparation. The hall looked great, and that's important. 
As long as I don't give them any trouble, the church seems okay with not much money.
I'll bring the extra cookies to the janitors.
Some excellent dancers showed up.
Some people are under the weather - sick! Others have fled the weather -ack!
Beginners just didn't have the gumption, I think.
