September 21, 2008 NECCA Clinic - Converting and using digital music in calling. Presented by Bob LaFleur of Springfield, MA

The program will feature methods of converting vinyl to digital music, use of MP3 and minidisk players, and using a laptop computer in calling.

Along with this program, NECCA will also be presenting an excellent workshop for the partners. This program will be presented by Gail Gordon, wife of square dance caller Don Beck, and will be presented in a different area at the same time that the digital music presentation is being performed. Gail is a certified life coach and a licensed clinical psychologist.  She has performed workshops at the partner’s sessions at many of the CALLERLAB Conventions.  The workshop is entitled “Dance of Your Life”.  Participants will examine where they are in their lives.  They will identify steps they can take to make life more fulfilling.  This is a fun workshop and all participants will be asked to play.  Callers who are not interested in the digital music session may want to consider attending this session instead. 

The date is Sunday, September 21, 2008 at the Worcester State College, Worcester, Massachusetts. More information, along with directions to the college, will be sent at a later date.

There will be a meal served at 12:00 noon, and the presentations will begin at 1:00 PM.  The cost is $15.00 per caller unit, which includes the caller and his/her partner.

Please make checks payable to NECCA and mail to Johnny Wedge, 100 Merrimack Ave, Unit 1, Dracut, MA 01826.  Please be sure to include the full name of the caller, address, telephone number and email address, and the full name of the partner, and whether or not the partner is interested in attending the partner session.  The deadline for registrations is September 12, 2008.  Please get your registrations in early.
