Club of the week: Square Hoppers
The Square Hoppers square dance club was started in 1959. They will be celebrating their 46th anniversary with their annual Apple Pie Hoedown on Saturday, October 1, 2005. The dance will take place at John Muir School on Branham Lane in San Jose. Club caller Larry Davenport will call the squares, and Wendy-Jean Iannico will cue the rounds.
The club was started in 1959 as an IBM club with Bill Peters as caller. He gave this club its name, and called for 28 years. Ken Kenmille, the second caller, was with the club 12 years. Larry Davenport is has been the club caller since 2000.
The club presently has about four squares that dance on Thursday evenings in Los Gatos. They run a beginners class every year. September 29, 2005 is the 3rd night of introductory classes for the 2005-2006 season. The class is open to couples and singles. It runs from 7:00 PM to 8:30 pm. Then the club dances the full Plus level until 10:00 pm.
In addition to the Apple Pie Hoedown, the club also has an annual picnic and a Christmas dinner each year.

Square Dancers for Katrina
by Tony Oxendine
It is time for square dancers world wide to unite. Together, we can make a difference. Over the years, square dancers have shown themselves to be some of the most caring people in the world.
Our goal is to send a check and truckloads of supplies to the affected areas on October 3, 2005. We will be in contact with FEMA to find out exactly where to deliver everything, and to determine what organization(s) to give the monies collected. Our goal is to send at least one semi-truck full of supplies and to hand over a check for ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
We will be updating the website www.squaredancers4katrina.org on a daily basis to keep everyone abreast of our progress. Please check the site often. We need to get the word out quickly to as many square dancers worldwide as we possible can. If you have a website, please post a prominent link to ours on your page. If possible, send this letter out to any friends you have on the internet.
