PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE by David Rodgers
The NVSC Nominating and Elections Committee members have begun contacting
NVSC members to ask who wants to volunteer to run for one of the officer or director-atlarge positions for the 2008 NVSC Board of Directors. The business of running the affairs of NVSC and planning all the activities and events for the Club is the responsibility
of the Board of Directors. If you want to be a candidate for one of the positions on the
2008 NVSC Board of Directors, talk with one of the members of the Nominating and
Elections Committee. Candidates for positions on the 2008 Board will be introduced at a
general membership meeting which will be held at Rene’s on Wednesday, October 24th.
On Sunday afternoon, October 14th, NVSC will have a Sunday Social at Rene’s from
3:00-7:00 PM. Come to Rene’s that afternoon and enjoy an afternoon of dancing, a free
dance lesson and a free buffet for NVSC members. A cover charge of $6.00 will be
charged for NVSC members and guests. See the flyer in this newsletter for more details.
SOS Fall Migration at North Myrtle Beach drew large crowds of Shaggers from clubs
throughout the Association of Carolina Shag Clubs. About 55 NVSC members attended
the NVSC Party at SOS in the back room at Fat Harold’s. If you haven’t attended an
SOS week, plan on going next year in the winter, spring or fall.

ELECTION PROCESS AND PROCEDURES
A.
Nominees are encouraged to campaign for the positions for which they have
been nominated. Members who are not on the ballot may choose to campaign for
their favorite candidate(s). The term campaign refers to an organized effort to inform members about the campaigner's choice(s). If a member, or group of members choose to campaign, they are urged to do so openly, informing as many voters
as possible. We are a social club, made up of volunteers, and as such should conduct ourselves in a spirit of camaraderie and good fellowship. Positive campaigning
is encouraged. The information contained in this paragraph regarding campaigning
will be included in the Corporation's newsletter along with the publication of the official NVSC list of nominees. In addition, at the fourth quarterly meeting of the members, after the Nominating and Elections Committee has presented its list of nominees to the members; the President or Committee chairperson, will instruct all members to review the campaigning guidelines outlined in this paragraph.
