Texas Camp Floor Setup Needs You!!!
(To the tune of, "This Land is Your Land"...)
Chorus:
This floor is your floor,
This floor is my floor,
From the programming station,
To the stage for music,
From the dining tables,
To the Balkan Bazaar,
This floor is built by you and me.
Verse:
As I was dancing,
A blissful line dance,
My knees were happy,
'Cause the floor was cushy,
But it doesn't build itself so,
We need your help again,
This floor is built by you and me.
Chorus (be forewarned: we will repeat as necessary to fill out the ranks).
It's that time of year again, the time when we ask for volunteers to come up to Greene Family Camp the weekend before Texas Camp to help assemble TIFD's own custom sprung dance floor. We plan to meet at 1:00 P.M. on the 21st and 22nd of November, working about 3 hours each day. Rides are available! If you'd like to sign up or need more details, drop an email to Mike Revesz at program_director@aifd.cc.
