The Value Village Fundraiser will take place on Saturday, October 20 at the Pembina Location again. If you are planning to contribute to the drop off, please let Jackie Naphin jackiederkson@hotmail.com  know approximately how many garbage bags or boxes you are bringing so I can know what and who to expect. If you don’t let me know, I won’t know if I should wait for you there.

Drop off time is 1130-1230,  we only get an hour window this time round as it is hard to staff someone to be at the back for 2-3 hours.

Try to be prompt and on time for the drop off.

Ensure you come all the way to the back of the store to a big overhead door. I will be the for the whole hour.

Brandon Division - Shoe Swap

Dear Brandon Division Dancers & Parents,

Please feel welcome to bring your 2nd hand Irish dance shoes to class tomorrow for a Brandon Division shoe swap / sale!  

This is a great opportunity for dancers who are looking for an economical option for Irish dance shoes or for dancers who wish to sell the shoes they've outgrown.

We encourage parents to come into the studio tomorrow to see what's available (in the waiting room) so they don't miss out on the opportunity for 2nd hand items.

We will schedule a costume swap later in the season!

If you have any questions, please let us know.

CRN Lanyard Orders

CRN Lanyard Orders

The fall order for dancer’s lanyards has arrived!  The next order for lanyards will be in the spring of 2019.

Deadline: September 20th, 2018

Fee: $30 (Canadian)

• Dancers who wish to order lanyards from CRN should confirm by emailing info@mcconnelldancers.com no later than Thursday, September 20th, 2018

What is a CRN Lanyard?

CRN Lanyards are used to identify competitors with Irish Dance organization, CRN Cumann Rince Náisiúnta, in Dublin Ireland.

Lanyards can be used from year to year and do not need to be re-ordered unless they are lost.

Do you need a CRN Lanyard?

Competing dancers do not require CRN Lanyards, they are optional for all.

Dancers who have CRN Lanyards do not need to pay admission into competitions.  Generally admission fees are $3 - $5 / competition.

Should you order a CRN Lanyard?

If you do not wish to compete, you do not require a lanyard.

If you only intend in competing at the Canada Feile, it may not be worth your while to order a lanyard. 

If you wish to compete in several competitions during the season or know you will be competing for years ahead, you would save admission fees and it may be worth ordering a lanyard.

If you have any questions please let u know!

Thank you,

Shayleen McConnell Finucan (TMCRN)
