BABIES
Congratulations to Dan and Lisa Poland on the arrival of their new son Kyle Daniel Poland on Thanksgiving Day. Faye and Brian are thrilled. Also congratulations to Gail and Peter Snell on being first time grandparents. Their daughter Kristin and son-in-law Tony, who are living & working in Italy, had a baby boy Liam Kevin McDougall on November 23, 1999. Both babies and parents are well.
If you have any news/announcements to share with other members of the ADAPT family, please call Gail Snell at 403-254-6660 or send her an e-mail at gail.snell@home.com
EXAMINATION NOTE
The new Intermediate & Advance work does not have to be presented in examinations until the fall of 2000. The old syllabus work at the Intermediate & Advance levels will be accepted for the fall 1999, winter and spring 2000 examination season. After these examination sessions, only the new Intermediate and Advance work will be accepted. We encourage teachers to begin working on the new syllabus work immediately, even though you have a full year to complete the change over.
INTERMEDIATE VIDEO
A video of the ADAPT Syllabus' new "set warm-up & set combinations", for the Intermediate & Advance jazz & tap levels, is now available. If you wish a video and do not already have one, please contact Mrs. Snell. The cost of the video is $45.00 tax included and is only available to ADAPT teachers who attended a teachers' course on the new work.
CRUISE 2000
Come on teachers, get aboard! Have you made your reservations for the ADAPT 20th Anniversary Cruise? The cruise/conference will depart the second week of August 2000 for seven days of fantastic sightseeing up the Alaska coast. Please consider joining Faye & Brian to celebrate 20 wonderful years of ADAPT. For further information call Lisa Gristo at 905-477-6700, or check our web site: www.adaptsyllabus.com. Teachers, assistant teachers, spouses, friends and family are all welcome. One teacher who is travelling alone, is interested in sharing a stateroom. If there are any other "singles" thinking of going, please talk to Lisa Gristo. It's going to be a blast. Let's celebrate together!
EXAMINATION SCHEDULE
Gail and Peter are going to Italy to visit their daughter Kristin & family from December 13th 1999 to January 20th 2000. If you have not booked for your winter examination dates or in-studio workshops as yet, please do so before December 10, 1999!

20th ANNIVERSARY SCRAPBOOK
We would like to put a scrapbook together for our 20th Anniversary next year. Can you help us out? We are looking for old photos that have been taken over the past 20 years. If you have any photos that you could send us we would really appreciate it. We are looking for pictures from Workshops, examinations, Summer Workshops, or any former ADAPT students who are now working professionally. How about pictures from the Summer Workshop at Rafter Six Ranch? Please send any pictures or information to Debbie Noce at 1020 Walden Circle, Unit #3, Mississauga, Ontario, L5J-4J9, Canada or contact us by e-mail at: adapt@lindsaycomp.on.ca
