Fluoridegate - Fluoride in Drinking Water

 
Hi Everyone,
 
Two things:

1. You must watch (free online) and spread the word about this new documentary, "Fluoridegate." Go to www.fluoridegate.org
 
2. Remember to vote on March 19 (I said the wrong date last time -oops) and note that mayoral candidate Mark Venzke is against fluoridation and will work to stop it.
 
Thanks,
Karen

Senior Line Dancing on Tuesday this week, Contra Saturday Night, Israeli tonight, Line Dancing, Swing and Sway

Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dance Newsletter 2013-02-11
 
Hello Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,
 
Israeli and English Country Dancing tonight at their regular times and places.
 
This Saturday night is the monthly Contra dance followed by Vintage Waltz Brunch on Sunday morning.
 
If you would like to improve your Waltz skills, Bob Rogers is teaching Social Ballroom Waltz and Foxtrot (which is kind of the same) for people with some dance experience on Tuesday nights at the Boltin Center from 7 to 9 pm. I went last Tuesday and can tell you this is an excellent class and you can learn a lot. If you wanted to learn the ballroom style of gliding around the floor, take the time to go out.

Swing 101 Need Leaders, Senior Line Dancing, Waltz Class

Gainesville Ocala Swing and Social Dance Newsletter 2013-02-06
 
Hello Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,
 
Last night I attended Bob Rogers Intermediate Ballroom Waltz class. I can tell you, if you know a little waltz, like all those that go to Waltz Brunch or Waltz at the Contra Dances, you can easily learn the ballroom style and pleasantly glide around the floor in this excellent class. Come out to the Boltin Center on Tuesday nights this month from 7 to 9 pm. Intermediate Waltz is being taught along with Foxtrot, which are essentially the same except for the rhythm.
 
Senior Line Dancing with Andy starts tomorrow, Thursday 2/7 with a beginner class from 11:30 to 12:30 and intermediate from 12:30 to 1:30, for 4 weeks. Sign up via Santa Fe College Community Education under Senior section.
