Heartfelt thanks to all 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!

And as always, thank YOU for your support of Atlanta Contra Dance!
