Besides the events listed above, the Nashville Country Dancers dance 
every Friday evening at Stokes School, with basic instruction starting 
at 7:30, dancing at 8:00.  

A Mentone Weekend:  I dreamed I danced the weekend away at the 
BCDS Mentone dance!  And I woke up sore all over, so it must have 
been so.  What a wonderful weekend!  I won't dwell on the wonders, 
since I know many of you wanted to go but didn't get to go 
(registration filled in 5 days, including some fedexed forms), but I 
had a great time, and so did most of the folks there.  Ask me and I'll 
tell you about it.

Chrissy Davis-Camp, from Nashville, was the Saturday morning 
caller at Mentone.  She is also going to be calling at the Black 
Mountain Fall Festival, making her a genuine world famous caller.  
Many of us know her either from visits to Nashville or her visits 
here.  Great going Chrissy!  If anybody wants to follow her to Black 
Mountain, there's a lot of other awesome talent going to be there, too.

Suggestion Box:  Continue to drop in your suggestions, comments, 
and small unmarked bills in the suggestion box each dance.  Are you 
glad to be back at the Burritt?  How about the new format?  All 
suggestions will be listened too, especially those attached to the small 
unmarked bills.  Well, okay.  You can even write suggestions and 
comments on large marked bills.  We're not that picky.

Newsletter subscriptions or renewals: are $6.00 a year, and can be 
sent (with checks made out) to me or paid at the dance.  You are also 
welcome to call with any questions about events on the calendar.  If 
I don't have the information, I can tell you where to get it.
