Swingin' Tern Report

The Swingin' Tern Committee Report for April 3:

Since the last FP Board meeting, we had a dance on St. Patrick's Day. Most

dancers wore green and got a $1 discount. We had a modest cash flow

positive of $112, which is a bit less than the dance hall rental cost.

April 21 will be "Bring someone new" night. Any experienced dancer and

newcomer who come together will each pay $4.99, essentially a 2-for-1

deal. This dance will happen during the NEFFA festival, which draws many

of our most dedicated contra dancers, so the newcomer promotion is timely.

In part because of NEFFA, getting a band for April 21 was a challenge.

Despite various setbacks, Dan Black was unrelenting and found a good band.

As our booker working behind the scenes, Dan does more for our dance than

is often visible.
