Thank you for all the nominations this year for Honorary Members, and thank you those candidates who have consistently demonstrated their passion and dedication to the club. This year the UBC Dance Club is fortunate to have elected Joel Marasigan and Clara Shih-Marasigan to join the current Honorary Members list. Their continued service, promotion, and monetary contributions to the club have helped develop the community to what it is today, as well as making ballroom dancing more prominent in Vancouver! As previous executives, it is the current executives honour to award them this distinguished title in 2013.
