FREE Scottish Country Dance Class
12/13/2025 - 10:00 am - 12:00 pm at Littlefield Celtic Center
1124 Cleveland Ave
You’re invited to a FREE Scottish Country Dance Class on Saturday, December 13th from 10am-12pm at the Littlefield Celtic Center in Mount Vernon.
SCD classes at Littlefield Celtic Center are general, multi-level sessions with some step practice and teaching of dances. Once we have a feeling for the make-up of the class, we’d like to focus on beginners and inexperienced dancers for the first 45 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of general social dancing for everyone, and we’ll end with 45 minutes of focus for more experienced dancers.
Beginners are most welcome; we would like to work using a building-block approach where we will review and build on skills learned in the previous class. The goals of RSCDS include “Fun, Fitness, Friendship.” If this sounds appealing, then SCD is for you! If you enjoy dancing socially to wonderful, traditional music, if you would like to try dancing in a team (set) with six or eight other dancers, if you think you might enjoy some energetic but graceful and elegant dancing—with a little bit of courtliness thrown in—then this is for you!
No partner or special clothing is needed. Loose and comfortable is the best. Women often wear skirts (not a requirement). Soft-soled shoes, such as ballet or jazz shoes allow you to move around the floor with ease and to point your toe, but don’t let that prevent you from giving SCD a try.
Bring a cheerful smile, a willingness to listen, and a desire to “have a go”! We look forward to seeing you on the dance floor!

Alger Senior Social
12/16/2025 - 10:00 am - 2:00 pm at Alger Community Hall
18735 Parkview Lane
The Alger Senior Social is scheduled for Tuesday, July 15th from 10am-2pm at the Alger Community Hall.
From the Alger Community Hall:
This event started as a way to support our aging community who may not get out as often as they once did. We are opening our community hall once a month during the same hours our local Food Bank is open across the parking lot for our seniors to get together and get a little social time in. For some of our seniors, this may be the only time they get out during the month. We provide a snack and refreshments as well as games and crafts. The puzzle table is always a big hit. We have volunteers to help with technology like computers, tablets or phones as well as a retired nurse and firefighters to take their blood pressure and make sure things are on track with their health. If you are a local senior for Alger or the surrounding areas of Bow, Glenhaven, Lake Samish, etc., come on out and see us the 3rd Tuesday of every month from 10am to 2pm at the Alger Community Hall, we are here for you.
