Hello Gainesville Area Israeli Dancers and Friends,

Currently there is no scheduled Israeli Dancing for the rest of December, as far as I know.

International Folk Dancing is on Fridays and you can do some Israeli dancing there.

Special treat Veronica's band will be playing the Contra Dance this Saturday night.

Take advantage of some of the other dancing going on in town. If you do not get it already, write to me to get the Swing Newsletter.

You should confirm all events this month before going.

The best time to see Mercury for the next four months is this Friday right after sunset, in the east, low in the sky. You will need a view of the horizon without trees, possibly Paynes Prairie, or better Cedar Key.
