AIFD needs you!!
 AIFD is experiencing a shortage of programmer (DJ) assistants. These are folks who volunteer to show up on a given Friday by 6:30 to help the DJ set up sound equipment and the ‘Welcome’ table.
AIFD is volunteer based; but since we restarted Friday dancing we’ve had a smaller than usual roster of DJs and assistants. Even if you can only help set up at the beginning, please consider doing so!
Contact program_director@aifd.cc (currently John Scales) for info – and to volunteer.
Thank you – happy dancing
