Palo Alto Weekly waited to publish the article to coincide with our Free Open House for new dancers, held on Friday April 5.
Board Election Results
It took a while, but we have final results in the February ECR Board elections. Congratulations to first-time Board members Pete Levins and Rob Howe and returning member Oliver Vogel. Our sincere thanks to Sabra Chartrand who tied(!) with Rob but lost by a flip of a coin.

We recently learned that longtime El Camino Reelers member Pamela Reed passed away from a heart attack in March 2021. An out and proud trans woman, Pamela was a software engineer at IBM and an ECR regular until she retired in 2010 and left the area. She is survived by her two sons. "So I've been a boy and I've been a girl and, trust me, being a girl is better". Our thanks to Lyn Juckniess for letting us know of Pamela's passing. An IAGSDC History Wiki page for her is being developed. |
February 24: The Black & White (and Pink!) Ball
Pretty in pink! Reelers and friends dressed for the occasion and danced to Bill Eyer at ECR's 2024 winter dance. And yes, Bill played "Pink Cadillac", and called hexagons too.
