The Branch tried a Spring Workshop this year for the first time organized by Greg Reznick. Ellen Aaron taught an advanced technique class (attendance 24) and Bruce Herbold taught a class on forms and figures (attendance 36). The event incurred a net loss of $263.75.
The Dance of the Decade was held June 25th in the Greek Orthodox Cathedral to celebrate the Branch's 40th Anniversary. The event committee, Witsie McKelvy, Paula Jacobson, Nancy Page, Trina Merriman, Jewel Murphy, Larry Wakeman, Greg Reznick and Donna Wiedenfeller organized a bank-up party. Music was provided by Green Ginger, Ian and Meryl Thompson on fiddles and Cas Sloan on piano. Sound was provided by Patti Cobb, Greg Resnick and Jeff Parsons. The hall was decorated with the class banners used at Asilomar and with flowers arranged by Jennifer Kelly. Jewel and Larry arranged displays pictures, fliers etc. and an automated slide show from the Branch archives. A pre-ball soiree was hosted by Ellen and Jonathan Lovell, and a 'light' buffet organized from contributions by a host of Branch members by Trina and Donna followed the dancing. There were commemorative T-shirts designed by Sylvain Pelletier and Tim Wilson for those who wanted to purchase them. Jennifer Kelly devised three new dances for the occasion, and they were shown at one of the intermissions by two sets from Red Thistle Dancers. The dance program was selected by Paula Jacobson and Alan Twhigg. Jeff Campbell was the piper, Fred Macondray Grand Marshall and Witsie Mistress of Ceremonies. Dance briefings were provided by Sheena MacQueen, Alan Twhigg and Paula Jacobson.
