Friends of Almost Heaven Dance Camp:

We thought it important to let you know that, despite the downturn in the world economy, dance camps are still running strong. We have done everything we could to arrange for the type of weekend where you will forget any of your woes. Our three musically rich bands are prepared to give you your money�s worth. Join in our favorite type of recovery act: contra dancing and more.

By the way, registrations are running ahead of last year, when we sold out the Almost Heaven Weekend by early May. Not only that, but a true sign of the times is obvious this year: The men are registering early. It�s true!! We have seen more single men than single women sending in their requests for a piece of this incentive package.

So, if you need a break from the stresses of your life, and if you hope to attend this fun filled, family-friendly, community boosting, relaxing weekend, we suggest you get those registration documents organized NOW.

The fees remain the same until April 24. The bands you just have to hear are Swallowtail, The Groovemongers, and Fiddlestyx. The wonderful leaders and callers include some of your favorites: Robert Cromartie, George Marshall, Ellen Engle, Marc Shepanek, Wayne Albright and Gaye Fifer.

We still have some scholarship opportunities available for those whose wallets don�t stretch quite this far. And we are organizing ride sharing to keep our emissions down as well as your mileage costs down.

Join the party (of your choice) and make the trek to wild and wonderful West Virginia for the Memorial Day weekend. See our website for more details and for registration forms: www.contradancers.com/heaven.
