BBMDE will continue after Joyce's passing

[Clayton Newman]

Hi BBMDE members,

We have been unsure if BBMDE would be able to continue after Joyce's sad
passing.   She did not have a backup owner of the group.  Today I was
able to work with her husband Kazumi to take over ownership of the group.

I plan for BBMDE to continue as always. You are welcome to post events
etc. as always.  I will also find at least 2 other joint owners so we
are not in this situation again.

If you have concerns or suggestions you may contact me at
Clayto...@comcast.net

Keep on Dancing

Thank you for picking up Joyce's torch, Clayton.  I hope you 3 Musketeers for BBMDE have ample support and appreciation; I hope Joyce is feeling our pain, sadness, as well as joy and gratitude for having known her and for her endless work keeping us all connected.  Jana Mariposa

Thank you!  I had no idea it was even an issue, and I'm so grateful that you've solved it.

I'll miss Joyce terribly at dance events - she was such a presence.  But I'm glad we won't also miss the list.

Huge thanks to you, Clayton! 

What would we do without BBMDE?! It is really Joyce’s legacy to all of us!
