Happy 50th Anniversary to Tuckahoe Square Dance Club. the event was celebrated by a dinner for members on Friday and a dance on Saturday, September 10, 2016, to celebrate this milestone for the Club. Jimmy Roberson was the guest caller, Jim Adcock cued rounds, and Pamela Moore did a couple of line dances.
A special “thank you” to all you dancers who supported the dance. We had over 13 squares in attendance. It was a great dance and everyone enjoyed themselves. And thee was plenty of food thanks to our Club members.

What a delightful surprise we had on Friday, July 1, 2016. We had over 72 dancers attend and enjoy Bob Clinebell’s calling and Pamela Moore leading lines. Bob did a very good job of calling and the dancers really enjoyed it. We also recognized those members with July birthdays – and there was a lot of them. Even one on July 4th along with the birth of our great country. 
Eleven dancers from Colonial Heights attended the dance to get back their banner.
Your support of Tuckahoe Square Dance Club is greatly appreciated.

BATTLE OF THE SEXES
There was an unexpected competition at the dance on 3-11-2016. George Jordan, the caller, rose to the occasion and set to the task and started calling the tip. At one point, George told the dancers, “you asked for it” and kept on calling calls such as “teacup change and crossfire”. Both the men and women square did well and there was no clear winner. However, in the men’s square it is easier to identify which dancers are doing the female part (the ones with the petticoats on).

Several of our dancers took advantage of the Leap Year 2016 by dancing at Colonial Heights dance on February 29, 2016. Not only did the dancers receive their Leap Year badge, we also took their banner. Now it is their turn to visit us and retrieve their banner.

Even though we had to change our location for this dance, we still had a great turnout with at least six squares on the dance floor.

There were ghosts, goblins, witches, fairy princesses, and many dancers at our Halloween Costume Ball. Some came in costumes and others came just to enjoy the dancing. A great time was held by all and we even had a couple from Laurel, Maryland join us for the evening.
There was five different areas for the costume contest and each winner received a prize. The important thing – a great time was had by all as Art Lavigne did the calls and Butch Bloxom did the cueing.

What a huge success our Open House was. We had approximately 100 people in attendance. Thank everyone who made it a success. At one time we had eight squares on the dance floor.
The newcomers to square dancing had a good time learning some of the basic steps of square dancing called by Gene Chamberlain. Lines dances led by Pamela Moore were done between tips. Everyone had a great time. Hope to see many of you back for lessons which start in September.

Well the Fluvanna Flutterwheels did not get to keep their banner long. Tuckahoe Squares numbering 14 traveled to Palmyra on Saturday and stole the banner back. Since the banner had been home less than 24 hours and needed some rest — Tuckahoe decided to honor this request and left the banner with the Flutterwheels. It is noted, Tuckahoe still has two of the Flutterwheels banners. Great job Tuckahoe.

Patty Greene from Monroe, NC was our guest caller. It was the first time she called for our Club and in the Richmond area. She received a great reception with over seven squares in attendance. She even convinced Jeremy Butler to join her in doing one tip.
The Fluvanna Flutterwheels from Palmyra, VA retrieved one of their banners with 9 members present. It was nice to have you visit us and we hope to see you again soon.
The Square Edges from Newport News, VA were well represented and was able to steal our banner. We are already making plans to retrieve the banner.
