    Today A friend of mine asked me if I knew when and where any Contra dances were SoJO Ross gave me your site. I don’t know how to publish your link on my Facebook page but if you could send me an email and perhaps a Facebook message so I could share this information that would be great. My Facebook page is Barbara Jo Warner Ferguson
