Here is a word from our housing coordinator:  

Hey Wichita Swing Dancers! We are needing hosts for our out of town guests for Sunflower Swing. If you don't have a spare bedroom that is okay - the minimum requirement is floor space and access to a shower! So far I 12 more people to place and I am expecting to have several more last minute sign ups. Send me a message if you're interested/have questions on Facebook or at SunflowerSwing@gmail.com.

Thank you!
