They are also available to hear your questions and comments about life in the club community. Let them know if you have some thoughts you'd like to contribute related to club life, or if you would also be available to volunteer some of your time and talents to make club events the best they can be.

The Board of Directors for 2011 are...
Rosemarie comes from a south suburb in Chicago and has enjoyed dancing since the days of American Band Stand! She moved to Albuquerque in 1989 and joined the ADC in 2005. She taught social dancing in Chicago and has a passion for helping others enjoy dancing – especially those just starting out.
Rosemarie coordinates volunteers with the refreshments and set-up/decorations of most dance events.
Karen volunteers her time to ADC as the Treasurer, monitoring the door volunteers at ASDC for club dances, and brings the Birthday Cakes each month to the DBDH.
As Finance Manager of the Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute, her duties include Risk Management, Internal Auditor, and Company Budgeting. She is in her 30th year with LRRI.
Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, she moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico over 30 years ago. Her hobbies and interests include dancing (of course), attending soccer and baseball games for the grandkids, long peaceful walks, movies, swimming, traveling, hiking, reading books, and dabbling in real estate.
She’s been a member of AS&CDC off and on for more years than she can remember.
Gary Kellogg has been Membership Chairman for the ADC almost since its inception and is currently the MC for most Club events.
He was born and raised in a small town (Cambridge Springs) of approximately 2000 people in NW Pennsylvania. The population of the town never changed because every time some girl got pregnant, some guy left town. He went to college at Penn State earning a PhD degree in Physics in 1976. Gary has been a research scientist at Sandia Labs for almost 35 years. He and his wife Susan have two sons, Brian and Justin.
Gary has been dancing since the early 1980s when Susan hauled him off kicking and screaming to take lessons at the (no longer existing) Coronado Club on Base. Susan and Gary were members of Mike Haley’s competition dance team (the Kuntry Kikkers) for over 10 years. They now teach C&W dance through UNM’s Continuing Ed program and at various other local venues.
Phyllis has been a member of the ADC for five years and has enjoyed every minute of it. Being part of such a great dance community, Phyllis feels she can contribute by her position on the ADC board as Secretary.
Phyllis currently works for a CPA as office manager, accountant and tax preparer. Phyllis is a true native New Mexican from Gallup and has lived in Albuquerque since 1981. She has a 25 year-old daughter, Stephanie, who lives in Denver.
Jerry Rejent joined the ADC Board over two years ago as a Member at Large. He originally volunteered to videotape and produce the video DVD’s for the dance workshops put on by the club. He also helps with the music and sound system at the dances.
Originally from Tonawanda, NY, he relocated to Albuquerque in the early 80′s to leave the snow and cold to the heartier folk.
He has three children: Kymberleigh, Andrew and Jonathan along with three grandchildren, Alyssa, Alex and Olive, with another on the way.
He re-started dancing at a UNM Continuing Ed class over five years ago.
