Partial registrations are now being accepted for Lyrids Folk Dance Festival. Register now here. For half-price you could be a work-exchange volunteer, if you don’t mind missing a few hours of dancing to work in the festival market and help with snacks, for example. Do you know someone (non-dancer, perhaps?) who would be interested in helping a lot, or being our photographer in exchange for meals? See more about the prices here.
Make sure to scan this newsletter for activities and events you might be interested in, and send in any announcements you would like to share with the other dancers to newsletter@burnabyfolkdance.org
Please direct suggestions and feedback to the contact form on the website, or directly to the club email.
This year we are celebrating 40 years! See below the dances done in 1989 for your interest.

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.
The address is 2633 S. Harbor Loop Drive.
Dancing starts at 7pm and runs to 10pm. There is a $15 donation requested.
