No Dance This Month

Hey y'all, just letting you know we are taking a brief hiatus from the McIntosh contra dances for May, and June also tentatively. It has been a bit of a financial drain on me, and also I have been traveling, working, and otherwise just very busy. 
Thanks for understanding! See y'all in July, Lord willing!
