bjarvisWork at the office was relatively light. Work at home, however...
Ken Ritucci wants to teach an Advanced square dance blitz class February 13-15, 2009. I'm thrashing around to see if I can scare up a dance space which can accommodate 5-7 squares, is available and is affordable. Feelers are out to folks who know these things in Maryland and Virginia. It might be easier to build a hall from scratch.
Apparently, the hotel room bookings for the GCA caller school coaches, TAs and staff falls on me as the local GCA point-of-contact. Not a problem. Well, kinda a problem: we know that the hotel room block doesn't have too many spaces left available for the Sunday night of the caller school. We can expand the room block but we don't want to increase it too much so we need to determine how many of the current room reservations are for the caller school and how many are simply early convention arrivals.
So far, there are five registrations for the caller school. I have about 15 hotel reservations by GCA members for the dates covering the caller school. As near as I can tell, there's only one overlap between the two lists. I've sent e-mail to the other 14 folks to figure out their intentions. With a little luck, we'll soon have a better idea how many more rooms we need for the GCA.
BTW, if you're thinking of coming to the caller school or the convention and haven't registered yet (or made your hotel reservations), please do so asap.
I'm still pursuing two convention staff callers to see if I can get them to join the GCA. I'd like a 100% sweep of all the staffers... we'll see how it goes.
I have the caller contracts ready for DCLS' Harvest Festival Hoedown 2009. Now I just need a current board member who can sign them on behalf of the club so I can get the things into the mail.
Later tonight, we're heading to Arlington, VA, to visit with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
