Stan will check with several callers who have worked with them, including Mike Richardson, Laura Me Smith, Eric Wayberg, and Mary Devlin. He will see who is available .

Folk Dance Report: Marty says there were 5 dancers at the last one; and she collected and turned over $20 to Contra Borealis. Interest is there; she has 45 folk dancers on an e-mail list. Another folk dance is scheduled for Sat. Dec 16, 6:00-7:30 P.M.
