Our Federation activities for 1993 have started and, there are many good events scheduled. From the looks of our annual calendar - this month it's the Festival of the Oaks in Oakland, February 21 st, at EdnaM. Brewer Jr. High School Gym, 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. There will be a BOARD MEETING at 11 a.m., followed by an ASSEMBLY MEETING at 11:45 a.m. Please be sure to send me a report of any matters that need the approval of the Board. At our October meeting in Fresno, Bev Wilder, made mention of the Civic Center Act which would allow folk dancers certain privileges concerning meeting places. Michael Norris checked in the West's Law Books, current issues through 1992, and this is an outline of what is available. ALL COUNCIL PRESIDENTS and FOLK DANCE GROUPS should take note of this information and if you are interested, we will provide a copy of the code. "Community Colleges are directed in the Educational Code to allow the use of facilities under their control to non-profit organizations, (folk and square dancing are specifically mentioned), with a charge which reimburses them for no more than custodian fees for opening and closing the facility and during the organization's use of the facility, cost of janitorial services needed only for the organization's function and the cost of utilities of the facility used. Contributions may be asked at the door for charitable purposes or with the governing board of the Community College allowing the non-profit organization to do so because their contributions are for the support of the organization itself or for the advancement of folk dancing. In the Government Code, cities and/or counties which have properties devoted to park, amusement, or recreational purposes may charge for use or services, (which can not exceed the cost of the service provided). Charges for similar uses or services are to be uniform to the extent feasible." Hope this information will help those groups having difficulty in finding places to dance. The Fresno F.D. Council has made contact with their local Public Broadcasting TV Station advising they are ready to assist in the scheduled AMERICA DANCING series, set for April and May. Looking forward to hearing from the Councils about plans they have made concerning the International Folk Dance Weekend Nov. 13th & 14th, endorsed by Federations North and South. See you all at the February 21st festival and meeting in Oakland. Fran Ajoian, President Page 3 • o UIELCOME 0 • We want to again welcome you to the Greater East Bay Folk Dance Council's annual Festival of the Oaks. This year, as in recent years, we will be dancing at the Edna M. Brewer Jr. High School Gym at 3748 - 13th Avenue, near the 580 Freeway in Oakland on Sunday, February 21. The dancing will be from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m., with Federation meetings starting at about 10:30 and a light luncheon for meeting attendees to be served from 12:00 o'clock. With so many Federation Officers coming from out of town all of the monthly Federation meetings are now being scheduled the same day as the regional festivals, thereby saving travel and meeting time for the officers. For all Federation Officers the Executive Board meeting is planned for 11:00 to be followed by the regular Assembly Meeting, open to all members and other interested people, at 11:45. If you are a Council President, we hope you will be able to make a 10:45 Council Presidents meeting. This is very important as it will actually be a meeting of the nominating committee for 1993-94 Federation officers. We look foreward to seeing all the International Folk Dancers at our festival, and if you are in the area on a 5th Saturday, we also hope you will join us at our regular 5th Saturday parties, each one sponsored by a different club throughout the year.
