Happy Autumn! As the weather cools, and the leaves start turning golden, It is once again the season to start up our Drum and Dance. There are a few changes to our event which we would like to make you aware:
Firstly, we are attempting to make the drum and Dance a Monthly event as so many of you have requested. Hopefully the church can accommodate us as we need.
Second, We have become affiliated with "Fans With Cans" (FWC). FWC is a nonprofit organization to help fill food pantries and banks across the nation. In order to support this effort, we are requesting that those of you who feel you can help please bring canned goods to each of our Drum and Dance Events. Lets feed our community while we feed our souls with rhythm and music!
Our next Drum and Dance will be:
Saturday October 23rd, 2004 from 7:30-10:30
Location: Presbyterian Church of Franklin Lakes
730 Franklin lakes Road
Franklin Lakes NJ
$5 Donation
As usual, please bring your open hearts and open minds so we can explore the diversity of Rhythm, Dance, and Chant.Hope to see you Soon!
Namaste
