Jeanne Cate has the feedback from vendors and Ilene Sandoval and Carmen Jimenez will have reports on that. Peter Mothander has a report on the performers. Nicole Molina will report on the food. We would like to know what people thought of the festival, and what could be improved, and how we can reach more people. Please come to the meeting on Sunday, December 7, from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. Lunch will be served. If you cannot come, please drop Georgina a note via email or phone--we would like everyone’s feedback! Thanks! The New Year’s Eve Party will again take place at the Folk Dance Center from 8 to just after midnight. The cost will probably stay the same: $5/person with a plate of food to share and $10/person without food. There will be door prizes again so please bring your wrapped white elephants to the party--someone will enjoy it! Honest! To help plan it, please come to the meeting! Holiday Party, Dec 16: The next party will be the Holiday Party, also on a Tuesday night because of venue problems. The party will be from 7 - 9:30 in the Balboa Park Club, sponsored by Cabrillo and the SDIFDC. Bring finger foods to share--drinks and utensils will be provided. It will again be an all request program, so bring those dance names in order to make your requests!

Statewide 2015 Meeting: (Festival scheduled for May 29 -31, 2015) At the meeting on October 12, we decided on the pricing for the festival, and on a logo--after it’s revised. We will now be able to advertise and make t-shirts. We also decided on a tentative schedule for the entire festival and can start inviting performers for the concert on Sunday of the festival. The next meeting is scheduled for January 25 in the Santa Fe room from 10 - 1 p.m. Please come and give us a hand!

Edith Schwartz fell over a curb and broke her left wrist (cast to come off around November 3) and bruised her face and nose--she says it’s not pretty and she had to miss the Halloween party! Gompers Kids--we’ve been very happy to see students from Gompers Preparatory Academy join us in dancing again. They did a superb job helping us decorate, set-up, then take-down, and clean up at the Harvest Festival, and it’s great to see them dancing. We thank the school’s Director, Vince Riveroll, and the assistant Director Jane Firpo, for shuttling them to and fro from the school for class. Both Vince and Jane are good dancers. In fact, some of us went to Gompers Open House where a lot of the seniors presented a dance program choreographed by Vince! It was great and fun! Veronica McLeod is in need of care-giver help. If you have any contacts, please let her know! Maria Kostow, a family friend of the late Fred Iliew and now a May your turkey be plump, good friend of Evelyn George will be coming to visit Evelyn in May your potatoes and gravy have nary a lump May your pies take the prize, And may your November from Leipzig, Germany!
