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

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!
And thank YOU for your support of Atlanta Contra Dance!
