Hi <<First Name>>,

Party this Thursday to celebrate Annie Kaps' 80th birthday! Annie is a very long-time member and, more amazingly, our treasurer for the past 20 years at least. The club's money has been in safe hands. Please bring snacks to share.

Extra events are optional and are listed here for your information. If a couple of hours of dancing once a week on Thursdays is as much as you want or can manage, that is fine!
  • March 22 and March 29 are Spring Break, and the school is closed. Dancing will be in my studio at 16479 92A Ave on those days. You can park in the driveway. Obey all street parking signs. In the mix of dances done, we will try some of the dances I will have recently been taught at festivals in Laguna, CA, and San Antonio, TX.
  • Sometime in April or later, demonstration at Weatherby Pavilion where Jeannette is living.
  • Pre-festival workshop with Sonia and Cristian, Thursday, April 19, 7-10pm. $5 for members, $10 for drop-ins.
  • Lyrids Folk Dance Festival, April 20-22, 2018. Featured teachers will be Sonia Dion and Cristian Florescu. Registration is open with 77 full-time registrants so far. Early bird weekend price ends March 1.
  • Post-festival workshop with Sonia and Cristian, Tuesday, April 24, 7-10pm, at Charles Rummel Community Centre in Burnaby. $5 for paid-up dancers, $10 for drop-ins.
  • Demo at Fleetwood Villa, 16028 83rd Ave, on Sunday, May 6, 2-3pm for their open house with a multicultural theme. Meet there at 12:30pm. Let me know if you are available to help.
  • Demo at Fleetwood Villa, 16028 83rd Ave, on Friday, June 8, 2:30-3:30pm. Meet there at 1pm. Let me know if you are available to help.
  • SIFD Summer BBQ on Saturday, July 28, 3pm-10pm, at Don's farm, 25133 0 Ave, Aldergrove. Folk Voice Band of Seattle will play live music for us! Walk around the farm, dancing, then pot-luck dinner/BBQ, followed by more dancing!
Happy Dancing,
Dale
