3. Future Locations for Dancing
In December, we will be moving to other locations for dancing.
November is our last month at 308 West. We have found other locations for most of the groups, so no need to worry about the future. There will be plenty of dancing without missing a beat.
We are looking for a permanent, long term solution. Send me your thoughts, I would like to hear them.
Much thanks to the owners for providing us with a favorable rent, which allowed us to move in with only a few groups and grow over time. You can show your appreciation by supporting www.CadeMuseum.org.

4. November Parking at 308 West
The whole location at 308 West has been rented to ToneRite. The president and CEO Valerie Sheehan was on the front page of today's Gainesville Sun's Business section.
Currently there is some confusion about the parking.
Of course, we would not have considered renting 308 West without the parking. I have emails supporting that. Parking is not addressed in our lease one way or the other.
Valerie claims she controls the parking and we cannot park there. My opinion differs. Until we go in front of a judge, we will not know whose opinion will prevail.
We only have one month left and I would like a peaceful resolution.
However, ToneRite might make war and put a chain across the parking area. If you do come to 308 West and there is a chain, there still is dancing. You can park in the garage across University Avenue, which is free on Sundays, $5 otherwise. There is free street parking within two blocks.
If ToneRite does put up a chain, you can go to ToneRite's website (ToneRite.com) and let them know how you feel.
Happy Dancing,
Andy
