We now have supervised child care available. Cost is regular
admission price for your first child ($5 for non-members; $4
for members). Additional children are $3 each. We are doing this
on a trial basis. Please let us know how you feel about it, either
verbally or via the suggestion box at the entrance table. We would
welcome any donations (or loans) of toddler-safe games and appropriate
videotapes.
Computer Stuff: There have been some changes to the
NACDS Web
page, and some additional capabilities are coming up soon.
First, the new address for the page is <
http://www.pobox.com/~bwalls/NACDS.html>.
This page has our upcoming events, a map, our logos, and links
to some other cool places. Links include all of our newsletters
(done in hypertext, so you can click to go to interesting places),
a schedule of area dances
(Including Nashville
and Birmingham,
as well as special events all over the South), and a map of the
South
that lets you pick the spot you want to know about and go
to their local web page. The new capabilities are an e-mail address
for the group (NACDS@Traveller.com),
and two new electronic mailing
lists. The two mailing lists are NACDS.announce, which is for
occasional announcements of dance dates or schedule changes, and
NACDS.steer, which is an electronic version of the old steering
committee. Everyone whose e-mail address is in the directory will
be added to the NACDS.announce group, since traffic will be low
and regulated. Anyone who wants can also join NACDS.steer, and
anyone who joins that list can post to all the other members of
the list. Details on joining the mailing list will be available
next month (it should be up and running by then), or by checking
the home page.
The Executive Committee will meet again in early August.
Please contact Amanda (883-7453),
Katrina (536-1397), or
Bryan (837-0656) if you have an issue you'd like to see
on the agenda.
Bring some SNACKING GOODIES to the dances, and a FAN
to help cool us off. You will get a $1 discount for providing
either of these contributions ($2 if you come laden with both!)
