The EBIDS AGM is Sunday April 26!


Have you responded yet to the Evite which was sent via e-mail to all NPIDA families on April 9? Please take a moment to RSVP; we hope to see you at the meeting on Sunday April 26 from 3:00-5:00PM at the NPIDA studio in North Vancouver!

All NPIDA families are members of EBIDS, the Eire Born Irish Dance Society. The primary purpose of EBIDS is to support NPIDA dancers by raising funds to nurture their development in order for them to reach their full potential.

AGM Agenda items include:
- 2014 year-end financial statements
- 2015 EBIDS Board nomination slate
- 2015 proposed budget
- Annual reports from the EBIDS chair and Nora
- Q and A with the EBIDS Board and NPIDA artistic staff

We hope you will consider attending our AGM on April 26 to connect with fellow NPIDA parents, learn about plans for the upcoming year, and share in hearing about the business side of Irish dance!

The PMAE Deadline is Tomorrow!


A reminder that TOMORROW APRIL 8 is the deadline to submit your PMAE applications online.

As posted on March 24:

For those interested in applying for the Patrick McAndless Award for Excellence, this is an official update for you.
 
Due to technical difficulties and spring break, we have extended the deadline for references to be submitted to the system. This does mean our timelines are extra tight, but we wanted to allow for holidays as we know how busy you are.
 
Please note that the NEW deadline to 
input the names/emails/phone numbers
of your references is MARCH 31.
 
This will mean that your references will have until April 8 to submit their written references about you. Once they do so, you will receive an automatic email from the system acknowledging receipt of the reference. If you DO NOT receive this automatic email, it is up to you to contact your reference to remind them.
 
The overall deadline for the entire application is still April 8.
