Eighth Annual Loyalty Day Dance Weekend. Our May 4-5, 2007 Loyalty Day dance in Newport was attended by approximately 100 dancers. The weekend began with the Friday night Trails End jamboree dance with invited guest callers and cuers. Featured caller Les Seeley again performed his calling magic, and the featured cuer was the always- bewitching Tami Helms. The Saturday afternoon Plus and A1 workshops and the advanced round dancing, the Saturday pot-luck dinner, and the silent auctions each night were among the special features of the dance weekend. Dance visitors also enjoyed the Newport Loyalty Day 100-unit parade and of course the many coastal sights.

Many of our club dancers were among the 8,001
dancers from throughout the world that attended the 54th National Square Dance
Convention in Portland, OR, June 22-25, 2005. A few of the dancers, 642 in
all, then took the square dance Alaska cruise June 23-July 3. There was dancing
on the ship and at a special hootenany at the convention center in Juneau.
A few pictures of the convention and cruise are shown below.

Since 2003 we have held several dances each year to collect fuzzy animals that we donate to the children's ward of the Newport Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital in Newport. At our December 2006 "fuzzy" dance, stuffed animals worth more than $250 were collected. The photo below shows some of the collection with club secretary, Daisy Stoutsenberger, left, and club treasurer Dora Weaver.
At a November dance each year we collect dry/canned food for donation to the local food share programs. In November 2006 the collection was 80-pounds.
Each year we also make monetary donations to the H.O.R.S.E.S organization sponsored by the Square Dance Federation and to support local organizations. These have included; the Toledo and Newport high schools to help their extra-curricula projects and to fund alcohol-free graduation parties, to KidsZone to help pay for after-school care for youth in Depoe Bay, and to KidSwim to help pay for transportation, lessons and snacks for needy kids from Yachats and Waldport being driven to Newport for swimming lessons.
