To all Grand Highlander Military Ball Attendees, 
 
Once again, we are offering free Scottish Dance Lessons prior to the Ball for the Scottish Country Dancing segment in this year's program. 
 
There are four dances: The Gay Gordons, Dashing White Knight, Strip the Willow and the Eightsome Reel.
 
To help you out with remembering or learning the dance steps for these dances, we are once again offering lessons at Mewata Armoury, on the three Thursdays leading up to the Ball.
 
For those joining us on April 21st, a wee dram of Scotch Whisky will be served. (Compliments of Bill Ketcheson - Raintree Financial Solutions)
