Happy New Year's, my lovely BIDA volunteers! 

I hope you all are staying warm and safe. I stayed in my cozy family room in my owl flannel pj's last night, and had plenty of wonderful social today and more over the weekend, including our DOUBLE dance with Maia McCormack up from NYC and the Red Case Band (Stuart Kenney, Max Newman, Alex Cumming, Matt Kenney and Clara Stickney). We've planned an experienced contra for the afternoon dance 4-6:30 followed by a pot luck (bring something to share, I will bring serving utensils)m followed by our regular lesson at 7, dance 7:30-10:30. It will be a fabulous start to this new year. I can't wait! 

I think we're good for set-up volunteers, but we do need door sitters for the duration. As always, I love to see you all!

Early early door, 3:30-5, 1-2 people,
Early door, 5-6:30, 1-2 people,
Mid door, 6:30-8, 2 people,
Late door, 8-9, 1 person.

Please let me know which shift you can take, by reply email. text or voice to my phone listed below. You will dance the rest the evening on us, and also get a ticket for a future dance. 

Cheers,

Persis

Hello, you all,

I am sending this again in hopes that it got buried by other emails. We need people for the early early, early and mid door shifts. Anyone available to help out? 

Please let me know.
