The following appeared in the Rock County News on December 1892:THE SOCIAL CLUBReorganized on a Sound Basis for the Winter’s AmusementThe social club which carried on so successfully a series of dances last season, has been reorganized on a sound financial and business basis for the coming winter. In the first place a paper was circulated and over eighty signatures obtained to a pledge to pay $5 each for a series of at least five dances, to be given during the winter. A meeting of the signers was called this week and the following executive committee chosen: A. Ross, who will act as chairman and treasurer, J. H. Gray, S. C. Rea, Dr. A. E. Spalding and Dr. C. A. Palmer. The entire management of the dances is placed in the hands of this committee. After the fifth dance if there remains a balance in the treasury, a meeting of the members will be held to decide upon how it shall be disposed of. The first dance will probably be given on Dec. 26.KNIGHTS WILL DANCEFirst Annual Ball of Luverne Commandery, No. 22, K. T.
