Clarice MitchellIt is with great sadness that we announce the passing of long time folk dancer Clarice Mitchell. Clarice lived in Austin for many years and, along with her husband Mark, frequently attended Texas Camp. Several years ago they moved to Katy,  outside of Houston, and often joined the Houston folk dance group. We have assembled a photo album with pictures provided by Mark form their wedding and by Geneveive Margretz, who visited the Mitchells everal times over the past couple of years. Clarice's memorial service will be Friday, November 9th at 2:00 pm at Living Word Lutheran Church, 3700 South Mason Road in Katy. Take the Mason Road exit from I-10 and drive south 3.8 miles, cross Westheimer Parkway and the church is on your right.
