September Updates!!!

Hi All!
I am excited that I start work tomorrow morning with the Province sifting through, sorting and archiving photos, maps and town plans of rural Newfoundland and Labrador. As most of you know I have a huge attachment to this place and a special love of the "bays" where my old family roots lie.

So this means that all daytime classes scheduled are suspended until the New Year. All other classes continue but it is important that you check the previous Fall Schedule post for revisions!

A quick note to let you know that any class cards purchased now may be used this term and throughout the next term.....
so all is well and see you dancing!!!
