[Organizers] Cancellation Policies

[Walker Sloan via Organizers]

On Thursday Night Dance at Concord (MA) Scout House, there are a couple 
of criteria.  First, if the town has a parking ban, no dance.  Second, 
consider the travel conditions for the performers.  Today, there was 
significant snow between where the performers live and Concord.  Also, 
if it's hard for the performers to get there, most dancers will also 
decide it's not worth it.
