Information for the Calendar of Events should be given to:
WEB MASTER
Gary & Dottie Welch 415 Conrad Road Lawrencetown, NS B2Z 1S3 (902) 435-4544 gaw@eastlink.ca |
Printable versions of the Calendar will be distributed periodically as E-mail attachments to Club and Regional Reps, and to anyone else interested in receiving them. Please contact the Webmaster to put yourself on the distribution list.
If you supply a MS Word Document, .pdf or .jpg version of a flyer for your special event, it will be published in the "Dance Flyers" page of this web site. A link to the flyer will be included in the Calendar.
The Calendar serves two purposes:
(1) To keep dancers informed of upcoming events. Club Reps are encouraged to print a copy for their clubs, and spread the word about this on-line version.
(2) To help avoid conflicts between special dances, especially fund-raising specials shown in boldface. Please try not to schedule your special on a date already selected by another club.
