Last Friday night Feb. 23 Single Trees hosted a mainstream dance called by K.C. Curtis and cued by Sandy Harris.  The theme was Chinese New Year's and some did wear their Chinese attire.  The hall was decorated very nicely as always by Melba Walker and her sister Joy Pitts, our President.

 

K.C. called a well-paced dance with excellent choice of music that well suited his wonderful baritone voice.  We love his voice and his calling and are happy that he came through chemo so well.  We hope to see him on our schedule often.  Sandy did a nice job of cueing.    We had three squares on the floor and a number of round dancers in the big ring.  What a fun dance it was!  We're looking forward to having the new dancers who just graduated out on the floor to join us.

 

In March on the 15th, we will have Phil Ramey up from Medford area calling with Sandy Harris cueing.  On the 22nd we will dance to Bruce Lowther and Jackie Gale who is returning to cue for us after a winter hiatus.  Please come join us at our large dance hall on Yolanda and 20th in Springfield.  Hard to believe we once had dancers who filled the dance floor but at least we are still dancing since we own our own hall and have wonderful renters to keep us afloat.

 

Next week at 6:30 on Wednesday March 6,  Single Trees and our sister club the Whirl-A-Ways will meet separately to discuss merging and afterwards  take a vote.  Anyone interested could come and hear to hear the discussion, but only club members will be able to vote of course.
