[Callers] Scholarships for Callers and Musicians
An important part of the annual Ralph Page Dance Legacy Weekend is a scholarship opportunity for 2 aspiring contra/square dance callers and 2 dance musicians. The Scholarship Application couldn't be easier: 2 simple questions. The Application can be found here: http://ralphpage.neffa.org/scholarships.html and needs to by in my hands by Dec. 3rd. Please forward this to folks you think would be interested. It is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the history of the dance form we love and learn from some of the very best callers and dance musicians! Thanks! Sandy Lafleur for the RPDLW Committee
