Hi fellow Shared Weight callers. I just wanted to give you a heads up that registration is now open for CDSS's next web chat on "Building Safe Dance Communities". The session is primarily for organizers but I know many of you on this list also organize and it's likely some callers will also find the topic interesting. It should be a great session AND it's free! Details are below. Emily Addison Consultant for the Country Dance and Song Society Dance organizer/caller/musician in Ottawa, Ontario ==================== The web chat is happening July 11, 8:30-9:45 PM Eastern Daylight Time. This is an exciting opportunity to gather valuable resources and hear personal experiences about this important topic. You'll hear from web chat guests across the continent and there will be time for Q&A. - Avia Moore (Toronto, ON) will share resources compiled by the CDSS Community Safety Task Group. - Diane Silver and Robert Zieber (Asheville, NC) are long-time organizers for the Old Farmers Ball dance community. - Marcia Davis-Cannon (Mountain View, CA) leads workshops on this topic for dance organizers on the West Coast. - Angela DeCarlis (Boston, MA) is a former Board Member of BIDA (Boston Intergenerational Dance Advocates) and co-founder of the BIDA Safety Team. To join the web chat (by computer or phone), RSVP BY JULY 7. All registrants will receive instructions via email about how to participate. Even if you can’t join us on July 11, submit an RSVP to receive announcements about upcoming webchats. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdYc34kuW4-rXeqqrfT3M5AueC0dUx0igu… <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdYc34kuW4-rXeqqrfT3M5AueC0dUx0igufQhEtTS3vo5Uc1g/viewform?fbclid=IwAR1dcBlB50expU7qVp8sXXr-4BuK0bSaKd1Q1YVKKumEPX7F3POxGz90BQw>
