Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this lively celebration and to the Eph Weiss Scholarship Fund for Labor Day Weekend at Pinewoods!
Please join us for an afternoon celebrating the life of Eph Weiss through the activity he loved the most: dance. Throughout the afternoon there will be international, contra and square, English country, and Scandinavian dancing, plus lots of waltzes, with live music and dance leading donated by our community’s musicians and callers. Contributions to the refreshment table are much appreciated. The sponsors for this event include the Folk Arts Center, Speledans, Country Dance Society, Boston Centre, and Eph’s friends and family.
There will be the opportunity to donate in Eph’s memory to a scholarship fund designed to enable people of restricted means to attend Labor Day Weekend at Pinewoods. FAC will administer the fund, and the coordinators of the camp session will allocate the scholarships. All donations to this fund are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.

with music by the All Girl Band (Barbara Pixton, Elaine Winic, Suzanne Costanza, Paula Rosenstock, Lenore Cowen, and Lisa Geller)
