C. WVIA Taping Dates

As of 4/2007, WVIA tapings are apparently cancelled for 2007, due to lack of funds.
WVIA claims we dancers haven't purchased enough Ballroom Memberships.
This claim is in question.

Rosalie Drust requests request you send her
( Rosalie182@att.net ) your membership number if you've already paid for 2007.

If you have NOT yet paid for 2007, she requests you WITHOUT your payment until further notice, and send her your name as part of the survey she is conducting.

Complete details are in ScrantonDance Listserver Message #828 titled "WVIA Ballrrom Tapings Survey".
