South Coast Folk Society

EMBRACE THE CHANGE
One of our recurring events is changing its time and place, and one is just changing its day.
- The Second Sunday Sing-Along is moving to the North Bend Public Library's big meeting room, effective this Sunday, April 13. The time will change to 4-6 p.m. The library is at 1800 Sherman Ave., North Bend. There's a piano there.
- Starting in May, the Celtic Session will move to the first and third Wednesday nights of the month, still 7-9 p.m., still at Liberty Pub, 2047 Sherman Ave, North Bend. But in April, it'll still be on Mondays: the next one is the 21st.

YOU COULD GET SHOT AT APRIL'S CONTRA DANCE
Dance photographer Doug Plummer of Seattle (www.dougplummer.com) is coming to our contra dance this Saturday, April 12, to take pictures. The pictures will be used in Folk Society publicity. If you would rather not be photographed, let Doug know beforehand. If you like, come to the Grange at 5:30 p.m. and enjoy a potluck before the dance. The dance begins at 7 p.m. at Greenacres Grange with caller Rich Goss from Portland. Music will be provided by Celtic Crossing, consisting of Jennifer Sordyl, Don Berg, and Stacy Rose, with assistance from Sarah Goss. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. Admission: General $7, students w/ID and seniors over 60 $6, members $5, and supervised children under 6 free.  First-timers who arrive in time for the 7 p.m. lesson will receive a ticket for free admission to their second dance. The dances are alcohol- and fragrance-free. For more information call 541-572-5370 or visit http://southcoastfolksociety.wordpress.com or find the South Coast Folk Society on Facebook.

AND DON'T FORGET INTERNATIONAL FOLK DANCE
Friday, April 25: International folk dance, 7 p.m., Greenacres Grange. Teaching, followed by requests. Admission is $4, or $3 for members of SCFS. Is there a specific dance you’d like to learn? It’s great fun having a variety of people share in the teaching – is there a specific dance you’d like to teach? To sign up to teach your favorite dance, call Scott Knowles at 541-217-9027
OR THE SOUTH COAST CELTIC FEST
May 3. SWOCC. Like "South Coast Celtic Fest" on Facebook for updates. See the most current schedule at http://southcoastfolksociety.wordpress.com.

GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER
The Egyptian Theatre needs musicians to perform for its grand opening 11 a.m.-4 p.m. June 21. Performers may reserve slots of up to one hour and will perform for people who wander in and out of the auditorium during tours, so everybody won't be sitting there looking at you. The only remuneration is glory. If you're interested, contact Lee Littlefield, 541-888-4434, jllittlefield@charter.net by April 25. It's first come, first served.
