Jeanetta McColl

Jeanetta McColl was awarded a scroll at the 2001 RSCDS AGM, nominated by Boston Branch. Here is the citation which accompanied the presentation.

A Branch member since 1961, Jeanetta has been extensively involved in Branch activities. She chaired the Annual Ball, Summer School at Pinewoods, and Teaching Committees. She also served on the 50th Anniversary Committee, producing a book of new dances and CD. She has taught demonstration teams and teacher candidate classes. Jeanetta has accumulated an invaluable amount of knowledge concerning not only SCD but also about the Branch and its rich past. Above all, she willingly accepts any roles that need to be fulfilled and gives selflessly of herself and her time.

She is the consummate SCD teacher, with a boundless source of information and skill. To attend a workshop she is teaching is an enlightening experience. Jeanetta always adds a sense of newness to even the most routine of technique classes and can make the most complex formations understandable. She treats everyone with the maximum of respect and in return is greatly respected by everyone with the Branch.
