August - Rock Hill Area Shag Club

ISSUE 112 kch
August 2016
Dean Baker
President of the Rock Hill
Area Shag Club
Hello Fellow RHASC Members,
I hope everyone is able to stay cool! What a hot summer we are experiencing right now!
I hope everyone is having an enjoyable summer so far. It’s hard to believe that SOS is
coming up in just over a month.
Our party in July was so much fun. We had a little over 100 people there. A great turnout considering that we are in the middle of the summer with folks taking vacations.
Steve Coley played some awesome music and the dance floor was kept busy all night.
Debra and the social committee did a bang up job with the food and decorations. She
brought some local BBQ that was out of this world!
I want to remind everyone that you need to start thinking about your nominations for
officers next year. Please let your nominating committee know of your suggestions.
We also have the nominations for the Wall of Fame coming up. The deadline for these
nominations is the first of October. Please take time to make suggestions for your nominations. This is a great way to recognize those folks in our club who step up and make
our club the great club that it is. It is such a great honor to be chosen to represent
our club on the wall.

Norman Mills will be our DJ for the August party. I don’t know Norman, so I am looking forward to hearing him play for us. The party will be on August 20th. We plan to
have a business meeting prior to the party beginning at 7:00 and the party will get
started at 8:00. The theme this month is Disco Night. Hamburgers and fixings are
planned for the menu. Hope to see you all there.
As always I would like to encourage you to come to our Friday night Meet and Greet
sessions. We always have such a good time on Friday nights, you don’t want to miss
out.
Ronnie now has Fun Monday tickets for sale. I would encourage as many of you as
possible to get some tickets from Ronnie to sell to friends and family. The grand
prize drawing is for $7500.00. The money raised from these ticket sales help pay
for the bands at Fun Sunday and Fun Monday at Fall Migration in September. The additional funds are donated to charities supported by SOS.
Ronnie still has SOS cards for sale as well.
I look forward to seeing all of you at our club events. I encourage each of you to visit our web site at http://www.rock-hill-area-shag-club.com/. Take a look at the calendar to keep up with upcoming events. You can also access the newsletters, party
pictures, and also learn more about our club.
See you on the dance floor!

FALL MIGRATION
SEPTEMBER 16 – 25. 2016
Hello all – here is a reminder that Fall Migration SOS is just around the corner. The
Rock Hill Area Shag Club will be having their annual Beach Party on Friday, September 23rd – weather permitting. Remember this is a club event and we will be providing
cold adult beverages and snacks for all who come out to party with our club on the
beach. We will need assistance in putting up and taking down the tents, tables, etc. Also we are asking for donations to pull this annual party off – we are looking for the following items:
Beer (15 cases)
Bottled water (5 cases)
Sodas (5 cases)
Mixed Liquor Drinks (25 Gallons - Possibly 5 gallon per donation)(Sex on the beach,
margaritas, etc.)
Please bring all donated beer, soda, and water to the beach already in coolers iced down
and ready to serve. I will also be accepting money donations for those that can’t bring
it to the beach themselves.
The club will provide the snacks. I will have a sign-up sheet at the August Party but
you are welcome to send me an email ([email protected]) or text (803-3224130) or let me know in person at the party or one of the Friday Night Meet and Greets
between now and SOS time.
Thanks,
Debra Ledford, Social Chairperson
