Friday Jan 30, 2026 Stockton Winter Weekend Zoom Party

 

 On Friday, January 30, instead of our usual Friday dance, we will be joining (and leading a portion of) the Stockton Winter Weekend Friday Evening Party.  So, the time and the Zoom link will be different than usual.  The Zoom link will be the one that's used for the Global Folk Dance Parties, so if you're already registered for those, you'll be all set.  If not, here's the registration link:

https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcucemrqT4rGdEuA1GXFGqXLH9BSIMr8_Hp

Our usual weekly reminder email that week will include the details.  If you aren't getting those reminder emails, and you'd like to, email lindaandjay@comcast.net.
