Welcome to Rosetown Ramblers!

The Rosetown Ramblers is a square dance club for gays and lesbians in Portland, Oregon. We dance the Mainstream and Plus levels and have been active in Portland since 1983. We are a member of the International Association of Gay Square Dance Clubs (IAGSDC), and hosted the IAGSDC International Convention in 1987 (Explode the Rose) and 1998 (Weave the Rose). We are open to all square dancers, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, ethnic background, or sexual orientation.

2008 Annual Garage Sale - May 16 & 17

Date: May 16th Friday and May 17th Saturday
Time: 8:00 am to 3:00 pm
Location: David and Clint's yard

As Spring approaches so does our annual Rambler Garage Sale. Lunch will be provided for all helpers.

Speaking of helpers, helpers come in all shapes and sizes; we will need people to donate stuff, pick up stuff, carry stuff, sell stuff, and clean stuff up. Please sign up with Jenni. Have you called Jenni yet?!

Pre-sale Meeting: May 15th Thursday at 6:00 for drop off of stuff and arranging items. Please contact Jenni for David and Clint's address.

Donated items: Please ensure all items are clean and in good shape. We will accept everything from clothes, books, videos, CDs, toys, furniture, household items, and almost anything else in your house. However, experience tells us underwear does not sell well, and neither do hazardous materials, construction items, or computers. If you have any questions or concerns, see Jenni.

If you have a very special item you'd like to donate, but you are hesitant because you are afraid someone will sell it for $.50 at the garage sale, feel free to donate it to our Scares 'n Squares silent auction where we can make the most out of our donation (literally). We are accepting new, antique, or collectible items for this event, and, again, if you have any questions, you guessed it, ask Jenni, our silent auction chairperson.

Donated items may be dropped off early by arrangement or on Thursday, May 15 at 6:00 pm.

Last year we raised some money to seed the Scares 'N Squares Fly-In. With your help, this year I think we could raise enough money to allow us to have a greater variety of callers and seed money for 2009's Scares 'N Squares.
