Hi from Victoria . .  It would be special if you could share my following request via a folk dance recipient list, etc.
BULGARIA and the Grand Koprivshtitsa Folk Festival
August 2-16, 2020   Led by Jim Gold and Lee Otterholt
Sofia, Plovdiv, Bansko, Veliko Turnovo, Koprivshtitsa Folk Festival!
https://www.jimgold.com/bulgaria-koprivshtitsa-folk-festival-tour-august-2020/
Do you, or does anyone you know plan to join Jim and Lee?  I promised to assist a folkdance friend lacking an email account. The amazing tour is on her bucket list!  She would appreciate having a female with her during check-in at Newark, New Jersey departure August 3 (Austria Airline) and NWR return flight tba.  Vancouver (YVR-NWR) or Seattle (SEA-NWR) return, as per forthcoming tour itinerary. 
Jim Gold will offer a ‘special travel fee break’ to the airport travel ‘assistant’!
Would love to make her wish come true!
Thanks!  Eleanor

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.
