1. Fiddlehead Frolic09: We would love to get some feedback from those
    of you who did NOT attend the Frolic this year (we’ve surveyed those
    who did at the dance).

    So, if you did NOT make it to FF09, please take a few moments to send
    me an email with a fair amount of detail, telling us why you did not
    attend. We want to make our events better and your input would help us
    a lot.

    We will be taking nominations from the floor, as well. So please come

    be doing next year, and share a potluck dinner with your fellow
    dancers (please bring a dish to share and your own tableware).

  3. The NEXT dance is on Saturday, June 13, 2009:

    Dick and Betsy Darlington invite all local contra dancers to a FREE
    CONTRA DANCE to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. There will
    also be 6-8 couple dances.

    Kitchen Chair (Gail Blake and Jennifer Dotson) will be playing and
    Katy Heine and Nancy Spero will be calling. The anniversary dance will
