A few years ago a caller ended our annual weekend event with this. The great partner
interaction gave us a wonderful 30 second interlude to wish all of our partners farewell.

 I enjoy mixers as well.  But IMHO the majority of mixers don't  appeal to 
 the MUC dancers mostly because nearly 1/2 of the  dance consist of into 
 middle (repeat), circle R and L.

 I love "Love and Kisses" by Ted Sannella but I find that it doesn't get  
 the dancers "mixed up" enough around the circle.  Lucky Seven is  better for 
 moving folks around the circle quickly and meeting new dancers.  

 I wonder if any of you would like to share your favorite mixers and perhaps 
 we can build our repertoires?!
