Mark and David - parent supervisors!

Thank you to Gillian for submitting these photos taken last night during Movie Night at the NPIDA studio in North Vancouver. Thanks to all the parents and dancer volunteers who helped make this a successful evening; we appreciate all of your efforts!

Help Needed To Repair the Dock Floor!

The Eire Born portable floor, used primarily at the Steveston docks every August for the past 10 years(!) is in desperate need of repairs. A floor repair work party has been scheduled for Saturday June 22 beginning at 12:00 noon.

Vic and Pat need 8 parents to help them with this important task; to date only 1 parent has volunteered. Please consider offering some help on June 22!

Without these floor repairs the 2013 dock shows will NOT be possible. The floor is not safe for use in it's present condition. The August dock shows have been an important and fun part of the development of many new and longtime Eire Born dancers over the past decade; please help us maintain this tradition in 2013!

Please contact Vic directly via e-mail at victoresmythATyahoo.com (replace AT with @).

Please also let Vic know if you can bring a WorkMate or sawhorse. The June 22 floor repair party will take place in Vic's backyard in Burkeville; please inquire if you need the address or directions!

Tomorrow is the Deadline for Ceili DVD Orders

Tomorrow, Friday June 7, is the final deadline for ordering your copy of the 2013 "Our Celtic Celebration" (Ceili) DVD, which was filmed by Cheryl G at Centennial Theatre on May 19.

The cost is $20 and you can place your order at either the NPIDA studio in NVan (Carrie) or at the Richmond Ballroom (Christine). Makes a great keepsake or gift!

Do You Have Your Movie Night Tickets Yet?

This Saturday night June 8 is movie night at the NPIDA studio in North Van! Please make sure to get your tickets in advance. The movie shown will be Disney's "Brave", and the event takes place from 5:00-8:00PM.

Tickets are $10 each and include pizza, drink, and popcorn. All ages are welcome at this fun event, and parents do not need to stay. Candy bags and raffle items will be available for purchase.

Please see Carrie in North Van or Christine in Richmond to purchase your tickets.

Congratulations Brianna!

Congratulations to NPIDA alumni Brianna S who received her B.A. in Anthropology from the University of Northern BC in Prince George on May 31. Mom Harolyn says "Brianna is going to stay in Prince George for the summer, and then... who knows?"
