Hello Fellow dancers,
Just want to let you all know that we are resuming folk dancing here in Butte on Sunday evenings 7-9 p.m. at the Sacred
Ground Center 126 S.Main. If you can get over for dancing and don't want to drive home the same night, we have a couple
of extra beds at our house-- give us a call if you want to do that.

Marvin will host Lita's idea: "Taco and movie Party" January 15 at his house. Socializing will commence at 3pm and the
movie "The Court Jester" will begin at 4pm. "The Court Jester": 1956 Danny Kaye movie, costarring Glynis Johns, Basil
Rathbone, Angela Lansbury, Cecil Parker and others. Setting is 12th century England. Comedy, 101 minutes in length.
Sam and Ruth give it a thumbs up, and Lauren's kids also enjoyed it. Taco party: typically tortillas or taco shells and
perhaps a meat sauce are provided, and everyone brings an ingredient to share (tomato, cheese, avocado, salsa, whatever).
Simple and fun."
I heard Don will bring guacamole.

Steam and Stomp, last weekend of February 2005.
Here's Bill Bucher:
Hi Folkdancers - As those of you who were there know, Steam and Stomp was great fun, as always, but we missed those of
you who couldn't make it. Just to help you plan ahead, Boulder Hot Springs has proposed February 26 and 27 for Steam
and Stomp 2005. They have also mentioned some price increases for the next gathering (these apply to all groups).
Meals (three) will cost $4 more or $35. Rooms will cost $50 plus tax for single occupancy and $37.50 plus tax each for
double occupancy. I hope the dates and rates work for you. Keep on dancing. - Bill
