Bay Area Country Dance Society
Family Week is a part of and partially funded by the non-profit Bay Area Country Dance Society.
The work to put on Family Week is shared by a volunteer committee of about 15 members who meet monthly throughout the year. Some of the key members for 2025:
Anne Bingham Goess (Programmer) enjoys wearing many hats (and wreaths!). On staff as a fiddler and singer over the years, she is also serving this year as programmer. Anne and her husband Kevin first came to Family Week in 2003 with their son Frank; this year she’ll be joined again by her goddaughter Julia.
Zia Rauwolf (Manager) and her daughter, Lysandra, have been coming to camp since 2013. Zia likes to play Irish flute accompanied by her husband, Ben. She’s loved serving this community as camp manager since 2019. In 2025, she will be adding more of an outreach role, responding to questions from current and potential campers.
Sola Grantham (Manager) and Stephen Gildea (Registrar) and their kids, collectively the SGs, developed their love of dance in the MIT Tech Squares community in Boston. They have been attending Family Week since 2015. Sola maintains the website, enjoys making all the logistics run smoothly, and loves finding ways for community members to chip in that bring them enjoyment. Stephen has been programming up the back-end magic for a few years now and is stepping up in 2025 to take a more formal role in the management team as registrar.
Shelby Solomon, Vicki, and family have been attending Family Week almost every year since 1995. When their children left home for college, they brought their nieces. In 2019 their eldest daughter Rory returned to camp with her family,. Their daughter Jamie is the adult overseeing Teen Town and their niece Gracie has been running Snack Shop. Shelby has been Treasurer for Family Week since 2007.
