Back-to-back committee meetings at my house Sunday

At least I only need to clean the house once... :)

At noon is the planning committee for the Michigan Dance Heritage fall meeting. I went to that dance weekend this past fall and had a wonderful time. We rent a camp on the shore of lake Huron with cabins and a couple lodges and there are two tracks of dance workshops all weekend - English dancing, contra dancing, and this year I think we'll have some sort of Chinese dancing as well. Last year they had Tango and some Hungarian dances, and there are also workshops for musicians and a big fun dance Saturday night. The music is all live, the group lively.

We are looking for someone to lead coordination of the food for the weekend (there's a huge commercial kitchen and cafeteria in one of the lodges), so if you're interested let me know or come to the meeting.

That meeting will be over (or retired to the basement) by 2 and at 2 is the ConFusion concom meeting. All are welcome at that as well. We will be discussing plans for a fan table and guerrilla con promotion tactics for Marcon and Clubfusion for Penguicon, as well as the general calendar for the year, the concom, and what positions we still need to fill.

Btw, if you are a student, please consider joining our street team to strategize on reaching out to college students all around the region. Or if you know a student, recruit them!

My house is 509 Dartmoor Rd, Ann Arbor MI, 48103. Just south off Liberty between 7th and Stadium onn the west side of town. Easy to find.

I adore contra dancing! The patterns are so much fun to do.

You're crazy... you know that right?

If if no one else steps for food coordination... I've run my fair share of kitchens when I was younger... from pizza places to short order cook to managers of said establishments.

Yea... I've been around the block and kicked into the corner many times. :)

*grin*

And by associating with me are you not also crazy?

If someone was going to step up from within our group I think they would have done it by now. I'm willing to help but I think the main food coordinator misses out on much of the dancing, which is why I've been reluctant. If you are not interested in dancing, you can at least enjoy the lovely setting and the neat people and live music.

We would be delighted if you can come to our meeting.

I was certifiable before I met you. :P And I'm not real interested in dancing.

So I'll try and remember to swing by the meeting and see what I can do for ya.

Do you know of any Morris dancing groups/teachers in the area?
