MemoriAle, Adelphian Arts Center, 2167 Central Ave, Alamedamap.gif (1249 bytes)

A celebration with other Berkeley Morris and other teams around the area as we salute and remember Terry O'Neal.
4-11-99 The MemoriAle celebration takes to the streets, much to the surprise of an suspecting public.
05-01-99 5:30a May Day morning, Baylands Nature Preserve, Palo Alto map.gif (1249 bytes) Come help us dance up the Sun on MayDay morning (we do it every year, and it always works - good thing, too!) and celebrate.  It's not so much that we believe the sun won't come up on Mayday without some dancing, it's just that if we didn't dance, and the sun didn't come up, we'd feel really bad.

If you haven't been out to see the sunrise celebration, give it a try. It's very beautiful, and while the sleepiness lasts only as long as it takes you to get there, the happy glow lasts all day! 

We continue throughout the day, bringing Morris cheer all around town.

Lark in the Morning Gala

A cornucopia of folk fun and frivolity, members of our team will join with other members of the Bay Area Country Dance Society.  Look for the Deer Creek logo on our tee shirts - if you find one, you get to buy us a drink!

One day is just never enough for Lark.
