We four Puttin' On the Dance conference planners have a lot going on these days, from planning the program to receiving registrations. We're very excited, and will tell you more details soon.
Speaking of soon... The *Early Bird Deadline* is coming up *very *soon! All Early Bird rates are in effect for registrations *postmarked by September 1*. Send in your registration form<http://www.puttinonthedance.org/register/registration-form/>by the end of the month to take advantage of the discounts. We have great news on the *Scholarship* front. Both the regional *New England Folk Festival Association *(www.neffa.org) and Maine's music and dance group, *DownEast Friends of the Folk Arts* (www.deffa.org) have provided grants for our scholarship fund. *Thank you *NEFFA <http://www.neffa.org/>& DEFFA <http://www.deffa.org/>! If scholarship support would help you attend the conference, send us your completed scholarship application <http://www.puttinonthedance.org/register/scholarships/> when you register <http://www.puttinonthedance.org/register/>. We updated the posters on the Fund your Attendance <http://www.puttinonthedance.org/register/fund-your-attendance/> page of the website, to reflect this additional support. "What's the Fund Your Attendance page?!?" you ask. It offers a whole lot of interesting and useful ways your dance series can pay for the conference. And the posters are to help when you...*Ask for donations from your dancers & performers!* (Just one of the *many *handy tips on the "Fund Your Attendance" page!) Let us know if you have any questions, and see you in November!
