GO4DANCER JULY 2009 DANCE CALENDAR

Venues & Organizations

Hello, Fellow Dancers!

Here it is - it may be a day or two before it is posted to the web - and I apologize in advance for the delay.

Some of the formatting was adjusted in this version as I moved the time and cost to the right of the music/lesson information, followed by the venue, location and their phone and information.

There was a request to add zip codes so I did that as much as possible in the moment. The hyperlink attached to the zip code (blue with underlining), will bring you to directions and/or a map to the venue. Where a zip was not easily found, you will find the word "Map" in its stead with a hyperlink attached for directions, ECT.

I hope that this 100% accurate, but alas, I am human and everything is cut/pasted over from another doc or screen and/or pasted to my memory in hopes that it will stay there long enough to click to the other window to enter. If something doesn't look right, as Jim always said, double-check before heading out. In addition to the human factor, things can and do change at the last minute and things in life are never a 100% for sure. This is my disclaimer and I’m sticking to it!

On the bright side, it seems this month’s is a bit more complete than what I have felt I have done in the past – there are a few movie in the parks added for your summer enjoyment and a lot of outdoor concerts. Where enough information is not attached to get you exactly to the event, you can click into websites to get the rest of the details.

As we are on the brink of our biggest summer holiday, I wish you all safe travels, a ton of fun on the dance floor and lots of time with all those that you love most dearly.

See you on the dance floor!
Carol
