The Eagle Squares is one of 100 clubs in the Northern California Square Dancing Association. We called our group Eagle Squares because we used to dance in the Eagles Hall. My wife and I started when some neighbors talked us into taking a beginning square dance class. We found dancing to be good clean fun, something we could do together with little expense involved. Livermore, California.

They cut down our tree forts to put in some new houses. We want our trees back. They paid us five dollars to keep people back while they cut up the trees, but we're not going to keep anybody out.
