CAROLINA SHAG CLUB “For The Love Of Shag” December 2014 The Annual CSC Board meeting will be held following dinner at 8:00 pm on Saturday, December 13th at The Hejaz Shrine Club. All members are welcome to attend. Note from Rick: Hi Everyone, It is hard to believe December is here and Christmas is just a few weeks away. Our Christmas party will be held at our usual place at the Mauldin Shrine Club on Saturday Dec. 13th. If you plan to attend please get your reservation in to Terry Gordon as soon as possible. The details are included later in this newsletter. We will also be electing our new Board for 2015 at the party. You should have received an E-mail with those details as well. With that said I want to thank all of the current board members who have helped keep me straight this year. They have all done a wonderful job. Some will be continuing on in 2015, some will not, but I can assure you, new or old, you have a very dedicated hard working group of people doing their very best to make The Carolina Shag Club one of the best clubs around! I also want to thank all the members. I truly appreciate the support you have given me this year. I have enjoyed getting to know many of you a little better and I think we have had an excellent year. There have been a few bumps along the way as their always are. But overall we have been very fortunate to have a lot of fun dance nights at the Phoenix and some really great parties throughout the year. So I will end the way I started, with one final comment. This is a social club and we are all here to have fun! So let’s continue to work together to have the most fun we possibly can and everything else will take care of itself! See you at the Party!!

For those of you who may not have time or just don’t like to shop, your cash (or check payable to Toys for Tots) is always welcome. This is another way for us to give back to our community. Our club has raised a lot of money for our charities over the years. Every child should have a toy under the Christmas tree.
