Note re weather cancellations:   If we have to cancel dancing due to weather, we will do our best to send an e-mail to the mailing list, but we may not have enough notice . . . I (Pam) will also do my best to post it here, so check this site, even if you have received no e-mail.
If there is a parking ban in Brookline . . . or if Temple Emeth has cancelled Sunday morning religious school (announced on television) . . . then dancing is definitely cancelled, even if we have not e-mailed or posted a notice.
When there is dancing in inclement weather, please use your own judgement as to whether it is safe for you to come.
Note:   If you'd like to receive e-mail notice of events or in case of snow cancellations or schedule/room changes, ask to be added to our e-mail list.
