Dear All,
I'll send something longer and more informative in a while, but this is a
heads up.
We are planning to make a change with the trad-dance-caller list. It will
move away from yahoogroups and over to the "SharedWeight" platform. The
general operation of the list will be pretty much the same. All that will
be missing will be ads and fussing with a Yahoo ID.
the list content will continue in the direction it has followed in recent
years. We'll be dealing dances in formations other than contra -- squares
in particular, as we have a fair number of folks with strong square dance
backgrounds on the list. And we'll be a resource for dance parties -- one
night stands, wedding dances, community dances -- and all that sort of
thing.
When the transition comes -- after it -- I intend to make a little effort
at stimulating communication on those topics. I have a few old things that
I want to complete -- eg. a checklist for dance party communication. And
I'm interested in building and sharing repertoire in the everything but
contra world -- especially the things that work for dance parties.
I am also interested in locating a few brave individuals who might be
interest in becoming moderators and regular contributors to this list. If
you think you'd like to be involved in helping in the revitalization
effort, contact me off list at mailto:ridgek@gmail.com .
Thanks, as ever, for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Ridge

I have two full sets of Sets-in-Order/Square Dance Magazine. One set is
new magazines. It is one of the sets that Bob Osgood saved for caller’s
associations. The second set of magazines are all in red binders by year.
It has been well used, but the binders protect the individual magazines.
There were 444 magazines published between 1949 and 1985. I weighed the
packages that contain the new magazine and they totaled up to about 135
pounds. They are in eight bundles. It would cost about $80-100 to ship
them media mail in the U.S.
If you don’t want the set personally, consider finding a college or
university in your area that will take them. I did this with Colorado
State University. At the time I made my donation, there were only five
other libraries in the U.S. with complete sets.
Would would really hate to see these magazines end up in a dump, but that
is likely destination of I can’t find a home for them.

Rich,
Can you find out where Calvin is? If he's in Colorado and there are no
other takers, I could probably get a friend there to get them from him so
there is no need to ship.
