Everyone welcomed to join dancers

It’s almost July. Lot of people have activities going on including those of us who square dance. On May 19 we graduated a class of students. They all dance very well. Square dancing is easy as they all found out. The State Festival in Bryan was held June 15-18. There were numerous dancers from all over Texas and neighboring states.

We will be dancing at the San Antonio Home Association, 525 South St. Mary’s St., from 8-10 p.m. on July 7 and 21. All visitors are welcome to “come on down.” Our caller does an excellent job, it will be worth your time!

Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable summer. Have fun and remember a square dancer is a friend you haven’t met yet!
