First, something to think about:
       I am mortified to be told that, in the United States of America, 
       the sale of a book can become a subject of inquiry, 
       and of criminal inquiry too.
              Thomas Jefferson

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.
