First, something to think about:
Our footprints always follow us
On days when it’s been snowing.
They always show us
Where we’ve been,
But never where we’re going.
  Winnie the Pooh

FRIDAYS, AND SATURDAYS
In the past we have included information about dances held by the Good Time Charley group, and the Chicago Jitterbug Club.  In recent times it seems that not as many of the Red Balloon group are attending these dances.  We have decided to include the dates of their dances, and a link to their website, or their HOTLINE so you can obtain full information about the dances.
