Inquiries
THINGS TO DO IN
Lansing, Michigan, is a beautiful city with many
attractions. If you have the time, check
out these websites:
CONTACT
The only way to contact the feis is to send an
e-mail at Great Lakes Feis E-mail
We no longer have a phone, so please do not try
to call us!
Because of the unusual number of junk e-mails we
are getting, we ask that you write “Great Lakes Feis” in the subject area of
your e-mail. We are using a filter that
will only recognize e-mails with that title, so please make sure to do this so
that we can answer your question/inquiry as quickly as possible! Thanks!!
Remember that if you need to make a change to
your registration, please contact Feisworx. We currently have no access to any of the
registration information, and as of right now, you can make all the
changes/additions you want for free with Feisworx.
Also, if you are having any trouble using the
Feisworx website, please contact Feisworx first. It has been our experience that all issues
are resolved within a few hours, so often, just trying again the following day
will resolve any issues you might have.
However, if your issue persists, please contact Feisworx. If you still have problems after a couple of
days, then contact us.
THANK YOU!
A Feis just cannot happen without a lot of help
and support.
In particular Great Lakes Feis would like to
recognize:
v The
Heinzman School of Irish Dance
v The Lansing community
v All the volunteers!
Thank you for continually helping us have a great
feis!
