Hey Contrarians,

Thank you to everyone who came out to dance at our last-minute replacement venue last week! We have been assured by Dec Rec management that we WILL dance there this week, and for many weeks to come. [City of Decatur buildings have been closed due to weather, but are scheduled to reopen by noon on Thursday.]

Come celebrate our return with the welcome sounds of Wooden Nickel (Teri Abler on fiddle and viola, Scott Russell on guitar, and Stven Carlberg on piano). Atlanta’s “dance magician” Seth Tepfer calls the dances. And YOU bring the joy!

And come early to help newcomers fit in! Intro lesson starts at 7:30, and the dance runs from 8 till 10:30. 

Weekly gentle reminder: please check in and pay at the Decatur Rec staff desk before entering the dance hall. Regular admission is $15; people with limited income can pay $7. 

We so appreciate the VOLUNTEERS who keep our dance running smoothly! Here’s how you can help:

• Come early to help with heavy lifting for Sound setup

• Sweep the dance floor before the dance

• Set out chairs and fans 

• Assemble the caller stand

• Keep the info desk supplied with name tags and markers

• Sweep the dance floor after the dance

• Help put away chairs, tables, sound equipment, fans, and caller stand - we must be out of the building by 11 pm!

• Enjoy a “bit and a bite” at a local eatery after the dance - to celebrate a job well done!

We couldn’t do this without you—thank YOU for your support of Atlanta Contra Dance!

Christin
