Lake City Swingers Club History

The Lake City Swingers began dancing on Tuesdays in 1982.
The caller was Stuart and Debbie Brink from 1982 until February of 1989 when Stu left for a job promotion to Ottawa.
Gerry and Bev O'Hara took over the calling and cueing from 1989 to 1991.
During this time Gerry was working on the construction of the new Grace Hospital.
When Gerry returned to New Brunswick, Dottie Welch took over and the dance night was changed to Thursday.
Dottie has been calling for the club since the fall of 1991.
We danced at several locations in Dartmouth before moving to North Woodside Community Centre in the fall of 2000.
