  Actually, these workshops are to make banners for 12th Night. I'd like to 
  have a mask-making workshop, but we've filled up our post-meeting class 
  slots. We may have a workshop at another time, but that hasn't been 
finalized 
  yet. If anyone else would like to host a mask-making workshop then I 
heartily 
  encourage them to announce a time.

  This rumor is true. I am currently looking at sites for an all-day dance 
practice. 
  I would prefer an indoor site with available bathrooms, electrical outlets, 
and 
  adequate parking. I will take what I can get. I will post more information 
when 
  I have finished examining all of the available locations.

  This rumor is also correct. I am waiting for the event musician coordinator 
to 
  be chosen; we'll get together a list of dances and I'll publish them 
  kingdom-wide. I will be contacting specific people for help. If you would 
like 
  to help please let me know. My email address is arcturus at robbinshouse.com 
  and my phone number is 919-304-6074.

  I do not know if there will be time or space at the event to practice the 
dances 
  before the ball. That is one reason I would like to have a dance workshop 
in 
  December. When I post the dance list, I will also let everyone know if 
  teaching will be available at 12th Night. Regardless, I encourage local 
dance 
  instructors to hold classes and workshops in preparation for the event. 
This 
  has been encouraged the past couple of years and has made for some very 
  enjoyable dancing at 12th Night.

  HTH,
