Club History |

|
The SAGE Square & Round Dance Club was organized in 1967 by military personnel at the Semi Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) installation in Topsham, Maine. The club included civilians in their membership and when the base was deactivated a nucleus of these people decided to maintain the club, retaining the name “SAGE”.
The Topsham and Brunswick School Departments as well as the Bath Recreation Department, Brunswick American Legion Post 20 and the Bath Area Senior Center cooperate with the club in providing venues for weekly workshops and monthly dances.
