Re: My treat -- please come!!

 

It was WONDERFUL -- beautiful people, beautiful family, beautiful music. You really missed a great evening. No, haven't made any of the Sacred Harp sings. Maybe the next one in CU. Y're a good daughter -- assisted living isn't supposed to be such hard work for the family. Maybe it's just the adjustment period and that will subside. Stay warm, come dancing sometime, Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Jenifer,
?
I've been very rude and not sent you a thanks for the shape note singing
flyer you mailed me.? Have you been able to go to any??
?
I'm still driving down to Evansville IN about every 3rd weekend to take
care of things for my folks.? Even in their assisted living arrangement, there
are a lot of details to take care of so they don't have to worry about
shopping for food or over-the-counter meds or clothes.
?
Sorry I missed your party yesterday.? I'm sure it was more fun than raking
leaves!
?
take care,
Kathleen

I picked up a flyer at the last contradance, that seems like the information has been changed. The group that played at the contradance this past Friday is scheduled for this coming Friday, the 21st.

I'm not sure what flier you might be looking at. There isn't a contra dance this Friday (11/21). There is a concert at the Virginia Theatre in Champaign called "Granny's Porch: Reliving the Melodies that Moved Lincoln and the Nation." I think some of the people who were in the band last Friday may also be playing in the concert this Friday. Perhaps that is what you are seeing.

You can find the details on upcoming events on our web site at "

Welcome to the new Urbana Country Dancers email list

 

This group will be for used for announcements of upcoming dances
held by the Urbana Country Dancers in Urbana, IL. There will also be
announcements of other dance and music events of interest to the
Champaign-Urbana contra dance community. In addition there may be some
discussion of dance and music and other aspects of our community.

We have combined both of the former Prairienet lists into a single
list. If you were subscribed to the contra-announcements-l list we
have set your email delivery mode to Special Notices. That means you
will get announcements of upcoming dances and other special events,
but won't see any of the discussion messages. If you want to be more
involved you can change your setting to Individual Emails or Daily
Digests. Those people from the contra-l list have their delivery mode
set to Individual Emails or Daily Digests, depending on what their
setting was on the Prairienet list.

Hopefully for most people this list will function much the same as
the old list. All subscribers are welcome to post on-topic messages
to the list. Keep in mind that those with the setting of Special
Notices will not see most of these messages, just the announcements of
upcoming dances and other special messages such as this one. So if
you have an announcement that you want to go out to the entire list
send it to one of the moderators who will send it out to the list as a
Special Notice. At the moment the moderators are Dan Lewart
<dslewart@...> and Jonathan Sivier <jsivier@...>.

In the process of transferring people to the new list we came
across several duplicate addresses. Many were eliminated, but there
may still be some. If you get more than one copy of this message
contact Jonathan Sivier to get your duplicate address removed from the
list.
