[SCA-Dance] Fw: KWDS report (What I Did on my Summer Vacation...)

[Nadine]

I propose the Sat or Sunday August 2nd to catch those of us just
flying in for a few short days, or leaving the 2nd week.
I leave on Monday the 3rd. But I don't have to be there, I'm pretty
sure my pro having annual KWDS as long as there are enough interested
bids is obvious :)

Build a dance hall, and the dancers will come. (Maybe not all the
time, but most of the time.)

Lowrie.
