Our History & Mission
The Hey Lollies Square Dance Club began on April 8, 1965, when Harry Adamson, a minister at Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church (MDPC), recognized the importance of creating opportunities for married couples to enjoy fellowship and fun together. With Jack and Betty Smith leading the effort and Nort Robinson serving as the club’s first caller, square dancing became the perfect way to bring people together—and the Hey Lollies were born.
What started as a church-based activity quickly grew into a welcoming community. The club first expanded its membership to include married couples beyond the church, and in 2023, its bylaws were updated to welcome single members, reflecting the club’s continued tradition of welcoming new friends.
