Unto the dance community of Pennsic and beyond, do I, Margherita Battistina,
wish to convey my deepest gratitude for a wonderful Pennsic!  I have been
overwhelmed by the show of support you gave me this year, and I can only
hope you had as fantastic a Pennsic as I.

Now that we are all home and settling back into our other lives, I would like
to ask you to think back on your experiences in the Pennsic Dance Pavilion
this year, and send me your feedback.  Were there things you especially
liked, people you’d like to compliment, or problems of which I should be
made aware?  Please let me know by sending me an email at pennsic (dot)
eurodance (at) gmail (dot) com.

I experienced so many wonderful things this year, but I’d like to
highlight some
of my favorites:
> The European Dance Flash Mob was so awesome that Pennsic site staff came out
and took videos of it!  One of them allowed me to upload their video, which
you can all now watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ay0FBSoQZdk !
> We had more compliments in the Comments box commending the Youth Dance Track
and the people who made it happen than we had about everything else
combined!
> There was an actual, unplanned proposal during Saturday night’s ball!
> The Class Attendance Contest was a huge hit, and the winner had 20 beads!

It takes so many people to make this event happen, and while I have
your attention
I’d like to thank all that I can.  The list is long, but every one of these
people deserves our thanks!

Floor Coordinators and Pavilion Steward, Lord Connor Roe, Lord Vels
inn Viggladi,
Lord Gwommy Arpad and THL Darius the Dancer – without whom the floor
literally would never have happened!
And to the 14 people who volunteered at the Floor setup and the 22 who
volunteered
at Floor break-down – I’m sorry I don’t know all of your names, but your
service is greatly appreciated!

happen.  Without them, we would not have electricity and lights, the fabulous
new registration system, supplies for the dance floor, the tent would not
be up and ready for our use when we arrive, and so much more.  These people
work very hard to make a little magic for us all, and I am grateful that
they do.
