Israeli Folk Dance Camp "Hora Eclipse" Aug 18-21, 2017

Received in e-mail:

    Message from Murray and Randi Spiegel (NJ)

Hi Guys:
We're involved with a dance camp that's scheduled around this summer's
total solar eclipse.

Next August, there's going to be a total solar eclipse conveniently
located in the US.  It's the first total in the US in nearly 40 years,
and the first one to go coast-to-coast in 99 years.

If you've seen a partial eclipse ... or a lunar eclipse ...
this is nothing like that: viewing a total solar is an awesome,
life-changing experience.

A friend is organizing a great two-fer: a dance camp plus a great location
to see the eclipse.

It's primarily an Israeli dance camp, but many non-Israeli dancers
will come, so we'll be running several international segments too.

I urge you consider coming to the camp, enjoying some international
dancing and the eclipse: http://www.hora-eclipse.com

Remember to tell people: When you register, be sure to indicate
you're interested in International Dance!

Thanks,
Murray and Randi Spiegel
