On Friday, June 21, we held our "Reigning Cats and Dogs" dance, a benefit dance for Greenhill Humane Society. Mark Wheeler called (down from Portland) and Dave Cooper cued (up from the south coast). Both did a great job for us and we appreciate their willingness to travel so far.
We had three squares on the floor for mainstream most of the night. There were visitors from sweet Home and Roseburg as well as fromour sister club, the Whirl-A-Ways. We missed some of teh Whirl-A-Ways who dance with us regularly as they were on a campout that weekend. Still with three squares of dancers we had a happy group of dancers. Several newer dancers,, some of whom belong to Single Trees were there and had lots of help from the more experienced dancers.
Our President Melba Walker had just returned from an extensive sea cruise with her sister and nephew. She had also had cataract surgery so did not dance that night. She announced to the crowd that Single Trees would start dancing on the second Fridays beginning in September. We may or may not have to dance on the third Friday as we have contracts our with various callers.
Our next dance will be Friday, June 28 with Bruce Lowtheer calling and Jackie Gale cueing. It will have a Hawaiian theme so wear your muu-muus or Hawaiian shirts and come join us for a fun time!
