 Hello, Single Trees members and friends,

We have had two very successful square dances in the past two months, May 14 and June 25.  Each night we had two squares on the floor for plus and three squares on the floor for mainstream.  People came and went but most stayed for the entire two and a half hours of dancing.  We are very grateful to the callers who have been willing to travel long distances to call for us.  Our dancers have been very enthusiastic, some of them traveled long distances to dance with us and we are so appreciative.


In July we had thought we would go DARK but as there is no dancing in our area if we do not have a dance, we decided to host a dance on July 16, a third Friday, not wanting to sponsor one on the 4th Friday as some dancers will be heading up to Diamond Lake for the festival there sponsored by Star Promenaders.  That night Terry Halley will call and Jackie Gle will cue.  Our theme will be Crazy T-Shirt/Watermelon Dance.  As always casual dress is acceptable in the summer and when the temperature is hot.  Our hall has excellent air conditioning and a wood floor making square and round dancing easy.  We start with plus at 7:30 and mainstream from 8-10PM.  We will encourage members to bring food to share and there will be coffee and tea available now that COVID protocols have been relaxed.  Please come join us for a fun night of dancing.  We'd love to see you there!






We will also have our club picnic complete with barbecue and potluck on Sunday, July 11, at Suzanne Peterson's country house off Seavey Loop from noon to 4PM.  Email Gaynor at dancergayn@gmail.com for directions or more information.

Hi, Single Tree members and friends.

I am pleased to announce that we are back to dancing at the Emerald Square Dance Center at 2095 Yolanda in Springfield as of Friday, May 14.  Jim Hattrick who  normally calls our 4th Friday dances is not available for live calling until this coming fall so Scott Zinser, who is a great caller, has kindly agreed to call our first dance of the 2020-21 dance season.  We decided to dance on this second Friday as the 4th Friday falls on Memorial Day weekend, traditionally a weekend reserved for remembrance and families gathering for camp-outs and such.  Our fantastic cuer, Jackie Gale, will cue for us.  Plus starts at 7:30PM and mainstream goes from 8 until 10PM.  We ask everyone to wear masks and to bring food and drink only for themselves and not to share.  Thus there will be no breaks.  If you are uncertain about whether we are dancing, please call Gaynor at (541) 741-4149 to make sure.


In June on the 25th, George Hermann will call for us.   We love George and look forward to seeing him then.


In August Darrell Kalbach will call for us the 4th Friday.  Darrell is a terrific caller and we will enjoy dancing to him.


As always in these very uncertain times with COVI-19 rates going up and down weekly be sure to find out for sure if we are dancing and stay safe.


Happy Dancing, everyone!
