The next Louisville ECD class will be February 8 starting at 4:00 PM this one time.

The potluck and dance was a huge success!

Special shoutout to Drew Fischer who came early enough to help move tables from the stage which was a significant effort. He also single handedly filled the dessert table.  Thanks goes to everyone who contributed food and assistance!  The music of Keltricity and quality of the dancing was superb!!!

Please join us THIS SUNDAY

4 - 6 PM

St. Andrews Episcopal Church

$5 at the door

It is clear that not everybody checks their e-mail these days. If you wish to be notified about Louisville ECD activities using another medium, let me know ... well, this is awkward ... let me know via e-mail what alternative vehicle to use to contact you.

Once a year we have a special dance with Keltricity playing. Deborah Denenfeld is calling this dance.
