From Lisa Johnson klezmom@yahoo.com: O'Reilly & Co. will be playing at Satchels Pizza, Lightning Salvage on Thursday, March 25, 2010 from 6-9.  There will be lots of jigs and reels, so dancing is always possible. Hope to see you there.
 
Each Tuesday and Thursday, Bill DeFeo (Hustle instructor) hosts networking luncheons. They are fun, informative and a great place to meet people. www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=104600022904107
 
Saturday is the Florida Black Bear Festival in Umatilla, next to Eustis, on the other side of Ocala National Forest. www.lakecountyfl.gov/hometown_highlights/black_bear_festival.aspx
 
Heard A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a great show. The lead is supposed to be very funny. It is at the Gainesville Community Playhouse. www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=348834676190
 
If you need a place to post something, you can use the Forums on www.GainesvilleDance.com. All you need to do is register and then you can post.
 
Will's party is out in High Springs this Saturday. If you did not get an invite, I can probably wrangle you up one, with the appropriate incentive.
 
Happy Dancing and Hag Sameach,
Andy

Article: Pesach (Passover) Kvetching
 
Rabbi Avrohom Lipszyc of Bal Harbor says
 
Now here is an interesting law. One may never kvetch over having to do a mitzvah. However, one may kvetch over Passover cleaning. Why? Because the cleaning isn't the mitzvah. Not having chometz in your possession on Passover is the mitzvah. Therefore, one may not kvetch about not being able to have chometz on Passover, but one may kvetch about Passover cleaning.
 
 
Therefore, we may never kvetch about the dancing, but we may kvetch about the refreshments.
 
Monday is the fast of the first born.
