Community Yehoodi Shutting Down after 25 Years: Help us remember and celebrate

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: after a quarter century of serving the lindy hop community, Yehoodi.com is shutting down. We’re proud of everything we’ve accomplished in this time, from our wildly popular online forums, to our many crazy media projects, to live broadcasts of ILHC and Frankie100, to our news and commentary we’ve shared over the years.

We’d like to mark this occasion to celebrate all that we accomplished together as a community. But we need your help! Between now and August, we want to collect as many stories and anecdotes as possible about how Yehoodi has impacted your life.

* Did something on Yehoodi make you laugh?
* Did you learn something because of Yehoodi?
* Were you connected to a community?
* Did you meet a friend (or a life partner)?

We want to know!

To participate: Join our Yehoodi History Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/yehoodi ) or just email your stories to rik@yehoodi.com.
