Saturday, May 10, will be the last monthly Contra dance until September. Joe advises that they will be saying goodbye to long-time caller and Contra supporter Mark Mathews, who is moving to New England. Mark will be calling, with music by the AM String Band, and Joe's hoping for a big turnout to give Mark a nice farewell. In my last report I noted some angst about international dance venues at the upcoming National Folk Festival in Butte July 11-13. Since then I've heard from Eva in Butte and Cecelia in Bozeman. Both say that planning for the event is well in hand, and it will have plenty to offer for everyone. I'm definitely planning to be there.
