Hi fellow
shared weight organizers :)
I hope you're
doing pretty well. It's snowing here in Ottawa but the
red-wing blackbirds showed up in our yard this morning for the
first time so spring is pushing through!
I was
wondering if any of you have resources that provide
information on benefits of contra dance (or trad social dance
generally). This could be as simple as your list of benefits,
it could be newspaper articles, videos, scientific studies...
or other!
Why? It's interesting generally I
thought we might all enjoy as tools for advocacy. However,
the question initially came up for me as I am working on
letter to our Finance Minister in Canada about some issues
around non-profit taxing ($50,000 income we have to charge
tax.... ugh... it's turned out to be quite difficult for our
organizer which is all voolunteer run and already cash
strapped.) Anyway --- would love to hear your ideas!!! :)
:) :)
I've also posted this question on
the FB Organizers of contra dance group. So if you're on
both, you'll likely see it there too.
Thanks so much!
