Among the good things that have happen this Club year, one of the most exciting is that we received an invitation from the Association of the Carolinas Shag Clubs (ACSC). It is an honor to have been recognized as a Club worth been part of the Association. The invitation was extended to us from Robin Morley, Vice Chairman of ACSC on behalf of their Board. In her letter she mentioned: “Capital City Shag Club has certainly made a positive presence in our shag Community.” You can all be proud of being members of this well thought of Shag Club. Please attend our next General Membership Meeting on Wednesday, November 19 and learn more about the ACSC and what it will mean for us to become members. At our General Membership Meeting of November 19, we will be visited by Helen Still, S.O.S. Board Chairman. She will share with us the benefits of being part of the ACSC. You may address questions at that time. As potential member of the ACSC, our Club has been given discounted “2015” SOS cards to sale, so if you would like to purchase an SOS card at $30.00, please see me or call at 803-315-2555 or e-mail at [email protected] and I will get one to you. (They would make great Christmas gifts !!) Capital City Shag Club has been very active again this year and our Membership is now at 265, Yea! Are you ready to party? Our yearly Christmas Party will be here before you know it– Saturday, December 6 in the NCO Club of Fort Jackson. I hope that you are making plans to RSVP and to attend. (See the flyer on page 5 for more details). At CCSC’s Christmas Party, we will introduce our Club’s “2015” Executive Board and will take Membership renewals for year January 1 - December 31, 2015. We will have our yearly Christmas Party Silent Auction and hope that you will come prepare to bid on some items (possible Christmas gifts). I encourage all our members to volunteer to help at our upcoming Capital City Shag Extravaganza VI. Our Co-Chairs are seeking Chairmen to fill the spots of some very important committees. Please, please help! (See page 4). Well, my second term as President of this wonderful Club, is coming to an end and in some ways it saddens me because in general, I have been proud to serve our Club (hopefully to the satisfaction of our members). I thank my Co-Board Members for their help and support. It takes all of us working together to accomplish the task. Looking forward to seeing you at Jamil or at our parties. My very best to all of you…. Josiane Horton CCSC President P.S. Please read this Newsletter in its entirety and mark your calendar for the events and parties coming up.

We have to confirm arrangements for tables, chairs, decorations and food a minimum of 7 days in advance of a given party. Both late replies and no-shows are causing major headaches for the planners and wasting club money. We understand that issues arise at the last minute that could prevent someone from attending. However, it would still be courteous and quite helpful to tell us that you cannot be in attendance. The point of this article is to stress the importance of receiving your RSVP or your Cancellation Notice in a timely manner. We plan according to these commitments. We must continue to get a handle on attendance at the club parties. We are trying to spend the club’s money wisely and keep your dues as low as possible. Please help us do this for yourself and your fellow members. If you must cancel your reservation at the last minute, please call 315-2555.
