Dear Heritage Musick & Daunce Society,
Hi Lois,
I just wanted to send you a quick email to say thanks again for your willingness to volunteer and perform last night. All of our students and community members really enjoyed the performance and you definitely exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your talents! The program wouldn't have been nearly as enjoyable without you! I was so happy to see the students getting involved in the dancing and I really enjoyed myself as well!

Thank you so much [for the one-on-one dance instruction for our upcoming Jane Austen theatrical presentation]. It truly was delightful to connect with all you dancers. It is obvious you enjoy what you do. And thanks for sharing it with us. Sincerely,

We enjoyed hearing the music and watching the dancing of your group last Monday, August 15th. All of you were so friendly to us your audience, but also to each other. What you do is unique and we appreciated your coming such long distances (in some cases) to share your group with us.
Thank you. Sincerely,
Pat Makariewicz, Lecture Committee, Adventures in Lifelong Learning (ALL)
Hi Lois, the ALL program was fantastic. I was hoping it was your group and was so thrilled with the music, dancing, costumes and all the smiling faces. What an upper - our best program. What a great group!
