We have four dancing couples who are expecting in August/September:

Sylvia Gale and Alistair Jones
Seth and Sara Weber
Ice cream social and baby shower before the dance.
 
If you want to bring a gift, the baby shower committee suggests you bring just one unwrapped gift to the shower that is appropriate for any baby. The couples will take turns choosing gifts, so it should be lots of fun. Who says our contra community isn't expanding! Come at 6:15 to eat ice cream and congratulate our expectant couples and stay to dance.

Questions? Drop us an e-mail or call Chuck Roth at (512) 453-8936.
