I Have Had enough Cold Weather. I know many People like Winter. All that Snow, Ice, and just Plan Cold. I would not be one of those People. Warm Weather, Shorts, Tee-Shirts, Flip-Flops! That's my Kind of Weather. If you are a Cold Weather Person, you sure are getting Plenty to be Happy About! Our February Dance was Anything but Cold! Our largest Crowd in Several months. A big Thanks to our Hosts, Mitch and Mary Helms and David and Donna Peshel. Our DJ was Butch Mattox who did a great Job Keeping the Floor Full. Pray for Butch, as he Battles Cancer. About 10 or More from his Shag Club PSA, came to Support him. I have heard Stories about MSC, and how they used to go in Large Number's to other Clubs and Visit. Its Sounds and Looks like it would be a lot of Fun. To Get together and Hit another Club, to support them. We Definitely need to Hit PSA, Charlotte Shag Club, and our Sister Club Lancaster. They have came out in number's to support us. George Ring Forgot it was Valentine's day, and was Lucky enough to win the Raffle, which was a Dozen Roses. He Told Barb he had it all under Control. And that he came through in the End. (way to go George!) We the Monroe Shag Club, are going to miss George and Barb as they Decided to Move to North myrtle Beach. 3|Page David Beaudry won the 50-50. All in all there was Plenty of Visitors, lots of our own People, Great food, Lots of Dancing, Tons of Fun. I wish all of our Dances could have that kind of Crowd. Our March Dance will be Hosted by Wendell and Becky Keziah, ( a first time Host, Thanks Guys!) and Wanda and Myself. The DJ is none other than Murl Augustine. He is worth the price of Admission just to listen and laugh at him. The Dance starts at 7:30, so make Plans to come on out and enjoy a great night. I have SOS cards Available at the Dance for 30.00 Dollar's each, After the Dance I am going to send them back. Hope to see you there!! Love ya! Mean it!
