and first-timers are welcome unless otherwise noted.

Supporter: $15
Regular: $10 on Friday/Saturday/Sunday, $9 on weeknights
Member Discount: $2 from regular prices

Note:

Jody McGeen, long time BACDS caller, returns to call the fourth-Saturday 
English dance.  Please note the recent time change; the dance runs 7:30-10:30.

Sunday afternoon, there'll be a memorial celebration dance for Patsy Bolt,
longtime Bay Area dancer, musician, and organizer more recently resident in
Santa Barbara.  That's in Palo Alto, at the Lucie Stern Center, 1305
Middlefield Road , with Sharon Green calling to the music of Bill Jensen, Stan
Kramer, and Jim Oakden.  That's a special afternoon dance, 2-5 pm, free
admission.
