As a possible place, Ken contacted the Masons' Hall on 1st Ave. Their rental fee is $100 for a 24 hour day. Ken also talked to the Community Schools about a dance session, but they have more instructors than dance space to offer, so he will check into the old U Park school by contacting Cooperative Extension.

Alaskaland 20th Anniversary Dance: This happens Friday Nov 30. Elaine is working with Bill Mudd on our part in it. Lynn will call and find musicians for our 30 minute (?) section. This will be a dressy event with dance cards for the ladies, finger foods, sparkling cider for toasts, local dignitaries, and $10 tickets.
