Hi <<First Name>>,

See you all at Walnut Road Elementary School for dancing tonight! 

Marie has helpfully taken over the job of ordering SIFD t-shirts and bags. If you are interested, please let Marie know what you want to order, even if you think you are already on the list. Email: bremhayn@telus.net. We don't want to miss anyone in the muddle. The selection of t-shirts is vast. Have a look at the possible choices here. If we change companies, the choice could be different, but what people want will possibly make a difference in the choice of company! Complicated!

SIFD Summer BBQ date has been set to Sunday, August 11, 3pm-10pm, at Don's farm, 25133 0 Ave, Aldergrove. Walk around the farm, dancing, then pot-luck dinner/BBQ, followed by more dancing! Save the date!

Regarding the Lyrids Folk Dance Festival, if you want meals, be sure to register in the next couple of days. Drop-in is available for individual workshops/parties. Registration is here. Prices are here. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to help at the festival. Very appreciated! 

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!
Happy Dancing,
Dale
