Holiday Schedule + New Years Day Zoom Dance Jan 1, 2023

 We WILL meet on Zoom as usual Friday evening, Dec 23, 2022.

We will NOT meet on Friday, Dec 30, 2022.   Note that EDC/VDR will have a dance marathon party that evening:  https://www.ethnicdance.net/downloads/holiday-party-announcement.pdf

AND: We will meet on Zoom for a special dance on New Year's Day, Sunday, Jan 1, 2023, 1pm-4pm CST.

NOTE:  we will be using a different Zoom meeting ID/link for the New Year's Day party, so that we can accommodate a larger than usual attendance if necessary.  The Zoom info will go out with the regular weekly e-mail reminder.  If you aren't on that mailing list, send e-mail to lindaandjay@comcast.net to request the Zoom info, and specify if you'd like to be added to the weekly reminder list, or just want the one-time info for New Year's Day.

Sad news: Joan Frankel

 

We were saddened to hear that longtime Chicago-area folk dancer Joan Frankel passed away last week.  We often saw her at June Camp, Oconomowoc Camp, and our New Years and Stone Soup parties and other events. She will be missed.
