Hi friends of South Coast Folk Society,
2015 has arrived - the centennial celebration of Country
Dance and Song Society has begun! Visit http://cdss100.org/ for updates of
celebrations happening around the country.
Closer to home, these are some of the activities we are
planning for our celebration Oct
4-10, 2015:
A variety of workshops for song leaders, for callers, for
dancers and for musicians. Bob Dalsemer is a renown caller - he will do a
series of workshops with people of all skill levels who want to learn calling.
The members of Firefly have some interesting topics for their workshops - learn
to make your tunes dance! But Folk Week is not just about developing skills of
people already affiliated with SCFS. We want
to reach out to the larger community, celebrating the joy of traditional
dance, music and song. So we'll have dances, a concert, in-school programs, and
after school programs with youth. Seven days chockful of activities!
THANK YOU for the many of you who have raised your hand to
volunteer! Still more help is needed. Do you have these skills? Reply to this
email if the answer if YES to any of these:
The gift of hospitality: we're hosting musicians and a
caller for Folk Week. Can you offer a room and breakfast to one or more musicians?
Do you have leadership, organizational AND
outstanding people skills? We're looking for a Volunteer Coordinator. This will
be a uniquely important job to ensure the success of Folk Week. Can you help
get the right people to the right places at the right times?
Point people - would you be responsible to be a point person
for ONE of the activities mentioned above?
As a point person, you will help the steering committee plan that activity; you
would be the go-to person at that activity. Which activity are you most drawn
to? Be the point person for it!
Food - Lynn Danner is our Hospitality Coordinator. Can you
help prepare a dish for one of the potlucks? There are also only two
opportunities left to host the band in your home for one of their dinners. Can
you cook a meal for 5?
As soon as all of the Folk Week activities are confirmed,
we'll be EAGER to share the schedule with you. In the meantime, check out the SCFS
web site for updates https://southcoastfolksociety.wordpress.com/cdss-tour/

Dare you not to smile.
Smooth moves!
Correction to this month's email announcement: The

you at Greenacres Grange at 7:00 pm!

See you on the dance floor,
