THANK YOU
Thank you all very much for coming. We hope that you had a wonderful time, and that you will consider coming again next year, when our callers will be Will Mentor and Beth Molaro, and bands will be Atlantic Crossing, The Latter Day Lizards, and London Porter. We will alert you by email when registration opens. Please keep in mind that we assign cabins based upon when you sign up, so if you really liked the Lodge or the Clubhouse or some other cabin this year, and hope to be in that same cabin in 2012, sign up early and make sure we know about your cabin preferences.

Here's some additional information related to Question 10a. on the online Evaluation form: Any of you who danced in the Playhouse (which should include nearly everyone) certainly noticed that the Playhouse floor is not a good floor for turning – tough for contras, downright terrible for waltz or hambo, marginally okay for English and squares. The floor is level, but composed of sheets of rough plywood with a coat of paint. Timber Ridge camp is a sleep-over children's camp from June to late August, and the campers use the floor of the Playhouse for building and painting sets, among other things. For performances, benches are dragged in and over the floor. For these reasons and more, installing a permanent high quality dance floor in the Playhouse is not a good solution, as it would almost certainly suffer damage and therefore would need maintenance and/or repair. But there is a solution. Touring professional dance companies bring temporary dance floors with them, which they install before each performance to protect their dancers from injury and ensure a consistent surface. Rosco makes a temporary dance floor with a "medium fast" surface, called Adagio Tour. It comes in rolls 63" wide, and up to 100 feet long. FootFall, in cooperation with the other dance organizers who use Timber Ridge, would like to raise approximately $5000 with which to purchase 4 rolls of Adagio Tour ($1200 per roll). That should allow complete coverage of the floor in the Playhouse. Installation is very simple – the flooring is rolled out into place over the existing plywood and allowed to "sit" and flatten for 24 hours. The seams between rolls are butted tightly together and taped down their length. After use, the tape is removed, the floor is rolled up, and the rolls are stored until their next use. Timber Ridge has offered to store the flooring safely o n the premises. The floor is extremely durable and is intended to last through years of installation/removal cycles. Rosco has offered to send us a small sample (big enough to turn on) and we hope to tape a video demonstration so you can see the product for yourself. We will send you a link by email when the video is ready. There were 240 of us at FootFall this year. If each person who came to FootFall this year contributed only $10, that would be half of what we need. FootFall also hopes that the organizers of Almost Heaven, CDSS Family Week, International Dance, and Scottish will join in raising enough money to improve the Playhouse dance floor, which will be to everyone's benefit.

A duck walked into a pharmacy, found a tube of Chapstick, and approached a clerk. "Do you want to pay for that?" the clerk asked. "No," said the duck. "Just put it on my bill."

Hope to see you next year!
