Diversity
We use Larks/Robins role terms (as defined in the FAQ section above). We are a diverse community of friendly people who enjoy and promote the lively tradition of contra dance. Service animals are the only animals allowed in the building.
COVID Policy
On a weekly basis, we monitor Covid levels in surrounding areas. When COVID levels in our area are low we are a mask-optional, when higher we initiate a masking requirement or take other action as needed. The current masking policy is at the top of our Thursday Contras page.
If you or someone in your household tests positive or is experiencing symptoms, we will miss you but please stay home.
If you test positive after a dance, please notify us at thursdaycontras@neffa.org. We will alert the community while maintaining your privacy.
Cancellations
We will cancel the dance if we feel that weather conditions would make for unsafe travel, or if community COVID levels become too high. Check the NEFFA homepage for weather-related notices.
Lost and Found
All Thursday Lost and Found items will be retained at the Concord Scout House for a period of time.
