May 30 - no Argonne dancing in Downers Grove
Many of us (including Jay & me) will be going to June camp May 30, so we're cancelling dancing in Downers Grove that Friday.
As far as we know now, we should be dancing Fridays for the rest of the summer. We'll send e-mail as well as posting here if/when other cancellations come up.
