They are pictured with caller Wayne Weston who drives from Canyon Lake twice a month to call for the club. The event was held at the Randolph Recreation Center, the regular location for Tuesday night square dancing. They each passed their tests and then received a certificate of graduation and a name badge from the club. They have had a blast while learning to square dance and are already looking forward to being angels for new dancers when the next class starts in the fall. The club proudly welcomes them and know that they will enjoy the many nights of square dancing.
