Announcements:
International Folk Dance,
Saturday, February 8, 2003, will be at the
Salvation Army Gym, 7 to 10ish pm
*******>> New development, here is the e-mail recieved from Russ:
"I just got the inevitable letter from the Salvation Army,
regarding out use of the gym.
They are eliminating the per person donation as of Mar. 1, and
making a nightly rental fee of $50.... We may have to go back
to some kind of pledge to make sure we have the money...."
So, there we are. For some history, we used to dance at the
Sons of Norway, in Kalispell, only once a month. The first year they
let us have it for free. Then they charged us 25 dollars per hour.
When we left and went to the Salvation Army, they had just raised
the hourly fee to 35 dollars per hour. Danceing from 7-10 -3 hours-
had cost us 75 dollars. We paid that by having a core group of
15 that would pay 5 dollars per month. Now to dance at the
Salvation Army Gym once a week will cost us 200 dollars per
month. :-( :-( Dancing only once a month was better than no
dancing, but newcomers had a hard time learning a dance when
they only could dance every 4 weeks. Dancing every week is the
way to go, IMHO! The question is how shall we do it? Any
sugestions??? We could could go plead our case to the powers
that be in the Salvation Army.... We'll figure something out, I
hope.
