TVC Recognition Award

Each year the TVC Recognition Award is presented to an individual, or couple, who has made a significant contribution to the square dancing community.

We are pleased to announce the 2014 TVC Recognition Award goes to Dale and Kathy Worthington.

Dale & Kathy started dancing in 1972. Dale was in the Army and they danced in numerous states as well as in Belgium & Germany.

In 1992 they became very involved with the Boy Scouts and held numerous positions as they moved around. They are still active with the area Cub Scout Day Camp Program and have been awarded the Silver Beaver. Dale still makes craft items for the Summer Camp.

That same year they took square dance lessons again to remove the rust. They then joined the Hayshakers in Astoria/Seaside. They have been Club President at least 6 years apiece along with many other offices. They served on the Sunset Area Council as Delegate and Secretary. They represented the Council as delegates to the State Federation.
