Below is the announcement we posted in early 2014 about the closing of the association called MECDA at the national level. The survey mentioned below has been completed and results of the survey are being discussed by the board members who are now Committee Members holding the same positions in the continued association now calling itself “The Association Formerly Known As MECDA” (or TAFKAM) .
TO: ALL OUR NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIBERS, SF/BA MECDA MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS
On March 19, 2014, MECDA (Middle Eastern Culture and Dance Association) announced that it will close its operations as of April 1, 2014. (For more information please go to http://www.mecda.org and click on the link “Dear Dancers and MECDA Supporters” to read the letter that was sent to all chapters and members of the organization.)
All the events promised by SF/BA MECDA for 2014 will be going full steam ahead! Swap & Shops, Dancer Nights and the Fall Festival are all happening!
** We strongly recommend that you read this announcement in its entirety!!!**
We need community support! And that’s where YOU can help us. Please participate in this very important survey to help us know what you want so that the new entity that forms from SF/BA MECDA continues to be relevant and meaningful.
Go to the Survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/99C6G5W. Deadline is April 10th. Tell us what you think NOW! Results will be publicized on or about April 28th. Please note that in the survey, you will find a question about paying dues to become a member of any future entity that we might form. We forgot to mention that in order to rent public facilities, we need to be incorporated as a legal entity and that requires annual fees. Dues would offset those fees.
While the San Francisco Bay Area MECDA Chapter and Board of Officers as you have known it will no longer exist, we, the officers you elected earlier this year, have met to discuss developments and options and how we might still offer you the services provided by SF/BA MECDA in the future. But this will take time and research which is already in progress. In the weeks ahead there will be multiple decisions to be made.Your response to the survey will help us to make those decisions.
In the meantime, we want you to know that:
In cooperation with Adira, the Swap & Shop will take place as announced.
Date: Saturday, May 17, 2014 – 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
HaflAdira Dance Showcase – 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Location: 2038 Lincoln Avenue, San Jose, CA

Sunday, September 15, 2013 – Return to the Casbah
By popular demand, a benefit for SF/BA MECDA and Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence, returned to the Village Kebab Restaurant in Los Altos for another Dancers’ Night. This time we enjoyed an intimate indoor setting with sumptuous food and dazzling performances by ADRIANA, BASINAH, LULU, PALOMA, RAJA, RAWIYAH, SETAREH, SUDEEP, TATIANA and ZELINA. Also back by popular demand, HAZAR entertained the audience with a lovely Dancing for Donations routine to benefit Next Door. All the dancers performed to a packed house with many guests standing in the aisles. It was at this event that our Board of Officers chose to present PALOMA with a Certificate of Appreciation for her Dedication and Contributions to the Bay Area Belly Dance Community. PALOMA had recently announced that after some 8 years she was relocating her business to Chico. (See photos below courtesy of Alisha Westerfeld.)

The San Francisco Bay Area Chapter of MECDA wishes to thank our co-hostess, PALOMA of Lunatic Fringe, for helping us coordinate another successful Swap ‘N Shop! We would also like to acknowledge the belly dance instructors (NATIKA, PARRI, RAWIYAH, SABIBA) who donated their time and talent to present free workshops throughout the afternoon,. And, of course, a Swap ‘N Shop would not be complete without the sellers and shoppers! Under the tents, the sellers happily displayed a wide array of gently used belly dance apparel, accessories, colorful fabric, etc. The shoppers didn’t waste any time finding the great bargains and several could be seen modeling their purchases.
A big “thank you” also goes out to all those who generously supported our Opportunity Drawing, and, in particular, to those who donated the variety of prizes: Ancient Egyptian Collection, Artemis Imports, Divine Design by Dhyanis, Dishdash Restaurant, Lunatic Fringe, Shiny Sparkly Things, Tangerine Gifts & Accessories and Wicked Smileys. All ticket sales benefited our Chapter and Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence. Congratulations to the winners!

Happy Holidays, 2012!
It’s been a busy year for our chapter! In keeping with our Mission Statement to create spaces for dancers to perform, we provided several showcase opportunities in communities throughout the Bay Area. The first was a “Dancers’ Leap Night” held on February 29th with Adriana. On April 1st we co-hosted the “No Foolin” Dancers’ Night with Sausan at Al Masri Egyptian Restaurant. We continued through the year with more wonderful events – one at Luke’s Restaurant with Angel Thacker of Afro-Belly Boogie, and another with Andrea Aranda at Tannourine. We also co-hosted a Swap and Shop with Paloma of Lunatic Fringe Belly Dance Essentials. This event offered plenty of time to shop, along with casual social dancing and four free 30 minute workshops. We wrapped up the year with our highly acclaimed annual Fall Festival. Be sure to read on as a recap of our Fall Festival is contained in this newsletter. (You can visit our website to see highlights from any of the other activities, all of which appear in previously published newsletters.)
Each of your SF/BA MECDA officers also attended and/or participated in several other events throughout the local area and beyond! We have enjoyed serving our belly dance community and want to take this opportunity to thank you for supporting us and our chapter throughout 2012!!

Special Guest Dancer performances provided by Basinah, Bramani, Christina, Delphina, Paloma, Rawiyah, Yolanda and Zahara were also spectacular. Angel closed the evening with a very energetic and inspiring performance that had the audience on its feet, dancing and signing a lively chorus of “Happy Birthday” – belly dance style!
SF/BA MECDA takes this opportunity to once again thank Angel, the owner and staff at Luke’s Grill, the belly dancers who donated their time and talent, and all the family and friends who came out and enthusiastically supproted this event. You were terrific! We also extend our grateful appreciation for the generous donations made that evening to our designated charity, Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence. Thank you so much!
