January 6, 2012 (Alpine) — In December, the “Alpine Squares” square dance club held their 27th annual Christmas Sock Hop for the benefit of Rady Children’s Hospital. Over $3700 was raised at this event, to be used for recreational therapy for the severely medically challenged children being treated there. The dance was co-sponsored again by Toyota of Santee, and held at their showroom.

The Alpine Squares is a nonprofit organization which promotes America’s National Folk Dance (Square Dancing) and provides social and recreational benefits to its members. The Club originated in Alpine, CA in 1978, and subsequently relocated to Lakeside, CA.

The Alpine Squares, along with other square dance clubs in San Diego County, perform square dance demonstrations at various civic and patriotic events including the Del Mar Fair, Balboa Park, Seaport Village, in parades, at schools, and at other public activities.

The Alpine Squares offers its members wholesome, inexpensive, and healthy recreation for all ages. Membership is open to singles, couples, and families. Spectators are welcome to visit Club dances. Classes to learn square dancing are offered on an annual basis. Open Houses to introduce members of the public to square dancing will be held on three Fridays: 20 January, 27 January, and 3 February.
