South Coast Folk Week Needs Event Coordinators!
Our
Country Dance and Song Society tour stop in October 2015 has been
christened Folk Week, and it needs your help. Attached is the schedule
of events. If an event appears in red, someone has already volunteered
to coordinate it. Please pick out an event that appears in black and
volunteer to coordinate it by emailing southcoastfolksociety@gmail.com.
Remember, the events are led by visiting instructors -- you just have
to coordinate the event (assigning tasks to volunteers, setting up the
room, whatever). For more information about Folk Week, visit http://southcoastfolksociety.wordpress.com/cdss-tour/.
On that page, please check out the list of things we need, like
ambassadors to speak to community groups, community groups to speak to,
and testimonials about how much you like traditional music and dance.
