March 14th - Saturday: SLOW JAM (Second Saturday) from 1-3 PM. 314 East Second St. attic (up the long driveway and up the back stairs.) For any interested folk musicians. All experience levels welcome, including raw beginners. We may go over a piece more than once.

Bring music or chords if you have them and share a little of what you are working on. There will not be an audience. We just go round in a circle picking a favorite tune, and others try to join in. Perfection not even considered! Come join us.

March 15th: Sunday: Caller's Workshop - If you've ever had the urge to call a contra dance, this is your opportunity to learn the technique. We'll be getting together with some experienced callers to work on some new dances and practice some old ones, and would be delighted to get you started. No experience necessary. We have cue cards for some simple dances. We'll hope for enough participants to make a very short contra line. Anybody that would like to come and help dance is also welcome. Sunday March 15th from 7 to 9 pm. In the Attic studio, at 314 East 2nd St. (Up the long driveway to the back, and up the outside stairs to the attic.) This is the 2nd house up from the Public Library on 2nd St. The city parking lot on the corner of 2nd and Jefferson is open on weekends. Please let us know if you plan to attend, that way we'll know if we have enough people to make it work. You can send an email to radavich at moscow.com. Thanks. See you there!

March 21st: Saturday: CONTRA DANCE with music by the Moscow Celtics and calling by Nancy Staub, at the 1912 Center (Corner of 3rd St and Van Buren in Moscow). 7:30 PM.

Moscow Celtic is a relatively new local band, and this will be the second time that they've played for one of our dances. I can't tell you much more than that, as they haven't sent me any information about themselves. But, Nancy Staub is coming down from Spokane to call this dance for us, so its bound to be great fun! It’s been a little while since she's call for us, so we're in for a treat. There'll be music and there'll be dancing! See you there!
