BIFD Community Performances/Teaching
- Performance practices resume on Saturday, 11 January, at 10:00 at the Burnaby Arts Council.
- A couple weeks ago Jane asked who could come to a performance on a Wednesday afternoon at 4:00 near Canada Way and Boundary in Burnaby. It would be some performance and some teaching at a seniors recreation program. Jane asked if some Wednesdays were not possible. She received two positive replies from dancers who would be available any Wednesday. “In the new year” was the only mention of a date.
- No other performances are booked.
- Contact Jane at jbkupfer@shaw.ca or 604-522-2031 for details.

Location: Squalicum Yacht club, 2633 S. Harbor Loop Drive, Bellingham, WA 98225
Party starts at 7:30pm and runs to 10:00pm. There is a $15 donation requested.
The Squalicum Yacht club is the smaller of the two Yacht Clubs side by side on S. Harbor Loop Drive. (South Harbor Loop Drive is connected in a circle with North Harbor Loop Drive.)
How to get there:
From the North, go South on I-5, take the Meridian Street Exit and turn right. From Meridian, take the 3rd right (2nd traffic light) onto Squalicum Way. Follow Squalicum Way and it will merge onto Roeder Street. Shortly thereafter, there will be signs for Squalicum Harbor and Coho Way. Take a right onto Coho Way. The very first possible right turn which is identified with a street sign "N. Harbor Loop Drive", take that right and at the end of that very short road you are in a parking lot. If you would turn left you will see the Squalicum Yacht Club in front of you.
From the South, you can take Holly Street through town to "F" Street. Turn left onto F street toward the water and across the train tracks to Roeder. Turn right onto Roeder Ave Continue on Roeder to Coho Way (City Mac Store) Turn Left onto Coho Way. The first possible right is "N. Harbor Loop Drive". Take that right and drive that short "road" to the end, and turn left into the parking Lot. The small building in front of you is the Squalicum Yacht Club.
