LIVE PERFORMANCES will occur from 10:30-11 in the morning, and 1:30-2, 2:30-3, and 3:30-4 in the afternoon. There are still a few performance slots open for members, so if you are interested, contact Kat Lebo on Facebook or at katlebo@aol.com

HAFLA-style OPEN DANCING featuring a mix of live drumming and recorded music is scheduled from 11:30a.m. - Noon and will wrap up the afternoon from 4:30-6:00 p.m. If you want to dance to specific music, please bring that music with you on a CD (nothing else on that cd please).

* We ask that if you are attending and wish to share in our Pitch-In lunch that you bring a covered dish! Soups, salads, casseroles, meat dishes, veggie dishes, fresh fruits and veggies, desserts – all of these things will make for a Winter Feast! As we have members who have gluten-free diet restrictions, we encourage you to consider bringing a dish that would fit into this category. Whatever you bring, please write the ingredients on a 3x5 card so we can let folks know what they are eating! Paper plates, napkins and plastic tableware will be provided by ISAMETD as will some drinks (provided throughout the day).
