Some of you in eastern Connecticut might be interested in checking out what's across the border in Rhode Island. Of course, people as far as Hartford are only two hours from Boston. Western Massachusetts should be pretty close to some of you. There's some limited information for New York, too.
If you teach classes, hold workshops, play in a band, or hold dances, please read the list of frequently asked questions before you ask to have your information listed here.
