Sun Dance Hoedown - Come to a square dance at the Betsey Mills Club!

The Green Sanctuary committee of FUUSM will sponsor an old-fashioned line, square, and contra dance on Sat, April 21, 2018 (7:30 to 10:00pm).  Funds generated will be used to increase the energy efficiency of our sanctuary and offices so we can make the most out of the solar power we are now able to harness from our own roof.  Chris Jacobs will be calling the squares and Dawn Hewitt will be calling the contras.   "Everyone is welcome, you do not need to know how to square or contra dance," says Jacobs. "We will teach anyone to dance and you don't need a partner." The cost will be $5 per person with snacks and family-friendly beverages available.  For more information, you can contact Chris Jacobs at (740) 373-6045.  Come out and dance!
