The Third Saturday Night Dance Club was organized about the year 1900. Although the club held its meetings and dances in several locations throughout the years, it currently meets at the Fort Douglas Hidden Valley Country Club on the third Saturday of every month from October through April. In addition, they hold periodic board meetings to discuss upcoming events.
The Third Saturday Night Dance Club records (1938-1999) contain membership lists and applications, by-laws, meeting minutes, correspondence, announcements of upcoming events, reports from the treasurer, and a history of the club prepared by Hope Shepherd. The club has retained additional written records from the 1918-1919 season to the present, while the records for the previous seasons have been lost.
