We will be building the brunch program from participants' 
requests. To have your request considered,

3) bring it with you to the Ball and talk to Mady Newfield

Early requests for the program are encouraged!

The brunch program will be danced to a combination of 
Recordings and (we hope) live music. We would be happy to 
receive requests from musicians who would like to play for 
a generic type of dance (jig, reel, strathspey) or a 
particular dance or dances. For musicians, advance notice 
of requests would be particularly useful.

If your request is not a well-known or easily findable dance,
please send (or e-mail) a copy of the instructions.
If you have particular music you wish to dance it to,
please bring a tape or CD along to the dance.

A partial program, with crib sheets,is expected to be 
available at the Ball, along with directions to the 
location of the Brunch dance.

Hospitality for the weekend will be handled by 
Melissa Whitson. Please direct questions to her at 
708-784-9011 or e-mail  xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx
