[tg] Proposed berks announcement



Cally organized callers for the next two years after some confusion with
Ryo.  So I can now send out the invitation. We've been talking about
Covid policies, and the last word was Ken thinking that "those who
prefer to wear masks" sounded too much like an alternative to testing,
and I think I agree so I think I'm going to say nothing about masks or
vaccination, and only things about testing that we hashed out. So this
is the current fall invitation. Typos/errors/etc. corrections requested.

If I were good I would actually check on those hotels. They were
accurate a year ago I think. I did check two years ago.

DIRECTIONS

The dances will be held at the Lenox Community Center, Lenox, Mass.
To reach Lenox, take the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) to exit 2,
Route 20.  After the toll booths, turn right on Route 20 west, towards
Lee, and continue to follow Route 20 through the center of Lee (making
several turns).

Continue on Route 20 West and stay on 20 when it merges with Route 7.
Turn left at the traffic light on Walker Street (Route 183) and go
about .8 miles until you are in the center of Lenox. The Lenox
Community Center is on the right in a large white colonial style
building between two inns opposite the intersection of 183 and 7A. The
address is 85 Walker Street.  If you reach Church Street, you have
gone too far.

The Black Swan is shortly before Route 183.  The Hampton and
Yankee Inn are on Route 20 in Lenox several miles beyond Route 183.
The Quality Inn is very close to route 90.


AIRPORTS

The closest major airport is Hartford, CT, an hour-plus drive
away.  Boston's Logan airport is about 3 hours away (more with traffic).


OTHER INFORMATION

All tips at each session will be on numbers, except the first tip
Friday evening.  Singles are welcome.  We will plan a singles
rotation if there are enough singles.  If you register solo but have a
partner for the weekend, please let me know who it is.

Some of us will play boardgames Saturday evening in the Quality Inn
breakfast room.

The next dance will be October 24-26, 2025 with callers Vic Ceder and
Rob French.
