It Takes A Lot of Energy . . .
to keep an organization healthy and growing.  Tennessee has been fortunate to have people over the years who have been willing to give to our activity to help it grow and prosper.  The Tennessee State Association of Square and Round Dance Clubs, Inc. has two formal awards to recognize people like this.  The Mike Stokes award recognizes contributions to the Association itself while the Hall of Fame recognizes contributions to square and round dancing in Tennessee.

The Mike Stokes award and the Hall of Fame award recognize those special contributors that helped make us what we are.
