A short Monday note from around the campus, so we are all working from the same information.

The Barn Dance was Saturday night. The quarterly all-staff meeting is Wednesday, October 7, and the Yeo Wedding is the weekend of October 16.

Last week

Thank you, barn dance crew

The night started with fire and music outside at 5:30, then moved into The Round Table for a contra dance from 7 to 10. About 170 people came in around 80 cars, and everyone got out fine after dark.

Thank you to Natalie and Heidi, who volunteered, to Austin, Rylie, Hattie and Roger, who hosted with Common Ground, and to everyone who had a hand in it.

From your photos

Whoops. A few of you added photos over the past month and they never made it into a letter. Here they are. Thank you for sending them.

Barry's question

Answer in the notes box below
Who taught you to dance?

A name and a sentence.

Type your name, write your note, press Add note. It shows up right here for everyone. Anything else for the letter goes here too: a thank you someone earned, something everyone should know before Friday, a question for the team.
