SOCD Schedule put Back on Hold - News v220725
Our all volunteer SOCD Board group met recently and has decided to put our Dance Schedule back on hold.
There will not be a SOCD Event in Oct-2022, as previously announced.
The two main drivers for this decision are:
Personal Health Concerns, for our board members, as well for our entire community.
Financial. The economics (mostly due to insurance costs) for sponsoring a limited dance schedule are not very good.
For Queries & Comments please use our Contact Us page.
Being able to safely host dances, while also meeting the health preferences of all members of our dance community, continues to be at the center of our decision making process.
Feedback is encouraged.
(Filling out the "Online Contact Form" is the best option.)
We also make more detailed announcements through our Newsletter on these matters.
We wish everyone Happiness & Health. Hope to see you again soon.

Our principle endeavor is to provide monthly Contra Dances, usually on third Saturdays, September through May.
Occasionally there are departures from this usual schedule, to avoid holiday conflicts.
