Cancellation - Sept. 26 Friday dancing in Downers Grove

Since we'll be dancing all afternoon Saturday, Sept. 27 at the Stone Soup party, we decided to cancel our Friday evening dancing Friday, Sept. 26.

Stone Soup Party - Sept 27 1pm-6pm Downers Grove

Argonne International Folk Dance Stone Soup Party

Date: Saturday, September 27, 2008

Time: 1:00pm-6:00pm, potluck meal around 3:00pm

Place: St. Paul's UCC Fellowship Hall

Address: 5739 Dunham Rd., Downers Grove, IL

Req. Donation: Potluck dish to share

More Info: post a comment with your questions


This year, we decided to spend more time dancing and less time cooking during the party, so the soups will be made ahead. If you would like to provide one of the soups, please let us know; otherwise, your potluck dish can be anything that goes with soup: bread, salad, appetizer, side, dessert, beverages, etc. Thanks to the commenter who asked for clarification on that point.

Sad News - Malcolm McClure

We were saddened to receive this notice from friends in the Illini Folk Dance Society - many of you may also know Malcolm and Erica from Evanston and other Chicago area folk dance groups and events.

Subject: Saturday, August 30, 2008 - Sad news to pass on...

Dear Friends,
Malcolm McClure died today after a long and courageous battle against cancer. Erica has arranged for burial in his family plot in California and plans a memorial service here in Illinois at a later date.
