Not Meeting Fri Nov 29, 2019, day after Thanksgiving

We will NOT be  meeting for dancing in Downers Grove on Friday, Nov 29, 2019, the Friday after Thanksgiving.  Michele recommends this contra dance event in Evanston as an alternative way to burn off the calories from Thanksgiving dinner:  http://www.breakingupthanksgiving.com/
