Am in Chicago. Tuesday night I did an Israeli Partnership Dancing(tm)
workshop. My very first dance teacher was there Penny Brichta. Have
two more workshops scheduled for this weekend. Last night I danced at
Phil Moss's group. Phil made a nice announcement about me, but I was
in the restroom at the time. Why does it always happen that way. The
weather is so nice, I am going to take the rest of the day off and
wander around Chicago.
Israeli Dancing at B'nai Israel on Thursdays suspended until possibly
mid-August.
Join the International Folk Dancing (IFD) group on Fridays.
This Saturday is a big Swing Dance benefit at the Boltin Center
for everyone, not just swing dancers.
Join Mosaic South Florida for tubing and canoeing in our area
at the end of July. See below.
Make plans to join Mosaic Outdoor Clubs of America for their yearly
International Event on Labor Day, this year in Southern California.
For details see www.MosaicOutdoor.org
Chagigah and Hilulim join together this year, in Wisconsin in October.
For details see

No sooner than I warned you about internet scams, I watched a friend
get scammed by an Israeli moving company for thousands of dollars.
See www.movingscam.com for someone who had a similar experience.
If you are moving or know someone who is, warn them.
Happy Dancing,
Andy

7. Fri-Sun 7/31-8-2 - Join Mosaic South Florida for Ichetucknee weekend
Tubing Trip Down the Ichetucknee River and More
When: Saturday, August 1 to Sunday, August 2, with optional Friday evening,
July 31, arrival. Meet at the hotel in Alachua, Florida by 4:00 pm on Saturday.
What: Join Mosaic members from around the region for a weekend full of fun
and sun. We will be staying in a hotel in Alachua, nearby the beautiful
Ichetucknee Springs State Park where we will start our tubing. Check in
both days is 3:00 pm, but if you get there earlier, you can always relax
around the pool. If you're joining us on Friday, arrival will be on your
own schedule. Anyone there in time can join the group for dinner.
We'll meet in the hotel lobby Saturday morning for breakfast and to organize
our day of canoeing. If you're joining us on Saturday, after checking in,
head out to the pool where we'll meet through the afternoon for a get-to-know
and snacks. Then we'll freshen up for dinner, as a group, at a local restaurant.
After dinner we'll head back to the hotel for Havdallah service, stargazing,
movies, games or a swim in the pool. Early Sunday morning we will have breakfast
at the hotel, then depart for the centerpiece activity of the weekend; the float
down the Ichetucknee River. Tubing on the crystal clear Ichetucknee River is a
unique experience in Florida. Nowhere else can one enjoy the outstanding scenic
qualities of the "Real Florida" while floating leisurely on a tube or float.
The pristine hardwood hammock, limestone outcrops, wildlife and serenity are
a combination of natural values enjoyed by thousands of tubers every year.
Bring snorkeling gear, and jump off your tube at any time into the refreshing
72 degree water to explore the Blue Hole or various springs along the way.
The entire float takes about 4 hours with a stop about 2/3 of the way through,
where our cars will be parked, to have lunch or snacks we bring or buy.
There are restrooms here and a snack bar. We should finish our tubing by about
2:30 p.m., meet for a late lunch/early dinner and arrive home by about 10:00 p.m.
Where: The Quality Inn in Alachua, Florida at exit #399 off I-75, 386-462-2244.
Bring: Clothing, toiletries, hat, sunscreen, bug spray, bathing suit. Optional
gear includes snorkeling gear, waterproof camera. You will also need money for
meals other than breakfast.
To keep the Ichetucknee River pristine, NO food or drink may be taken on the river.
