It’s time to mark your calendars for an upcoming
special Evergreen Council dance. November 29th is
the date; Hazel Dell Grange is the location; and Dave
Boggs will be the caller for a dance honoring this
year’s Bob Kendall Award recipient. Each year the
Evergreen Council recognizes a couple or individual
who have done an outstanding job of promoting
square dancing and who exemplify the spirit of this
wonderful activity: fun, friendship, and fellowship.
The name(s) of the recipient(s) remain a secret until
they are revealed at the dance. (Who knows? It
could even be someone from our club!!)
The Evergreen Council sponsors only a few dances
each year, and this is one of the most important ones
for it is a way to say, “Thank you,” to individuals or
couples who have put countless hours into making
square and round dancing fun for everyone. So,
mark calendars and plan to attend a dance that’s sure
to be fun. Dave Boggs is a good caller from Ephrata
who is rarely in our area. It’s always fun to dance to
someone new and support our local council at the

Our first clothing sale of this dance season was a
huge success. We made over $750. Because of the
success of our last four sales our supply of good ex-
perienced clothing is dwindling. We will have an-
other sale in the spring so if you happened to be
cleaning your closets and find some skirts, shirts,
blouses or petticoats that you no longer wear, you
might consider donating them. The proceeds from
these sales help sponsor our New Year's Eve and An-
niversary dances, and the picnic.
We would like to thank Leonard and Linda Willey
for storing our stash in their basement. Also a spe-
cial thank you to Jim and Sharon Punteney for bring-
ing their large display rack and setting it up and re-
moving it. Thank you to the many folks who show
up on the morning of the sale to set up the displays,
especially Emily Chase for hanging the wall dis-
plays. Also thanks for the many helping hands who

Square Dance Lessons by Tom and Liza Halpenny
Thanks to your support, we have had excellent lessons participation in October. Treasurer Melody Wilson re-
ported 12 new dancers began lessons, with one at the Plus level and eleven beginners.
The third month of square dance lessons begins November 3. The Basic lesson consists of Basic 1 and Basic
2 periods. The Plus and Mainstream lessons also begin monthly. Dancers will learn the Basic lessons for two
months, Mainstream lessons for two months, and Plus lessons for three months in order to complete each pro-
gram. As always, dancers self-evaluate when they feel comfortable advancing to the next lessons program.
Plus lesson - 6:30
Basic (beginner) lesson - 7:30
Mainstream lesson - 9:15
Thank you Rex and Jean Tolstrup and Rod and Cindy Lunde for serving as door and kitchen helpers during
October lessons. We can access the sign-up sheet online. Please contact us with your interest in serving dur-
ing future months of lessons. We need volunteers for December.
