Hi,

Happy March! 
Happy St. David’s Day (the Welsh holiday)!  
Chestite Baba Marta (the Bulgarian holiday)!
Happy International Women’s Day!
Happy Mardi Gras!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

We’re holding a Mardi Gras Potluck at Fermilab international folk dancing this Thursday, March 3, in conjunction with the NALWO (Fermilab Women’s Organization). Bring a dish of food to share and come to Kuhn Village Barn around 5:30 p.m. to eat, then stay for dancing. All ages are welcome. We’ll supply beverages and tableware. Costumes and masks for the holiday are also welcome, and encouraged.

And don’t miss a few Irish dances at our usual meeting on March 17th.

Fermilab Internatioanl Folk Dancing is also holding another very special event this month: a workshop with Ahmet Lüleci, a world-renowned teacher of Turkish dance, on Thursday, March 24, 7:30 p.m. at the Barn.
