Thank you all for making me feel so welcomed!

Below is info on one of our short programs. I guess it's alright to forward this info about a performance we're doing. I'm not sure of all the rules on TC yet. If any of you can make this event it is free and there will be food available but you do need to register (call the number listed). I know my dance group is the finale and the 30 minute program will occur at 9:30pm. It is late but it's a nice event. All other groups will be more geared toward the Orient and India if similar to the past several years. The Tahitian drums will be rumbling at the end.

We are also doing luaus for social clubs on April 28 at 8pm in Arbutus and May 6 at 1pm in Baltimore Highlands (near Linthicum). I'm checking to see if tickets are available to the general public and will keep you posted.
