DANEBOD FOLK MEETING GOES VIRTUAL

By JERRY and RICKE BLY

    The Danebod Folk School is sponsoring a Virtual Folk Meeting experience for 2020.  This opportunity comes to you as a result of the Folk School Campus being closed this summer due to the COVID-19 concerns.
    In an effort to sustain the campus through the 2020 season and keep Danebod in your thoughts, the Folk Meeting Committee has created a virtual opportunity.  You can access the web site at danebodfolkmeeting.org.  You must register to be a part of this event.
    Included in the programming are the following opportunities:

    Our speakers are, for the most part, familiar with online university classroom experiences. Jerry and I participated in a successful on-line SMSU history class this spring. A suggestion to enhance audio is to use head phones on your device. 
    Remember this is an opportunity to support the Danebod campus in 2020 while connecting with the larger world. Please visit our website danebodfolkmeeting.org for details and registration information.
