April - Rock Hill Area Shag Club
April 2016 ISSUE 108 kch Dean Baker President of the Rock Hill Area Shag Club Hello Fellow RHASC Members, April is here… almost time for SOS! I think I’m ready for a vacation at the beach with all of my friends. I hope you are getting ready too. The March party was our first regular party since January. It was nice to get back to our regular party night for a change. Debra and the Social Committee had some awesome food and Roger Holcomb played some great music. I don’t have numbers yet for attendance. The crowd seemed to be smaller than normal, but we still had a really good time. It turned out to be a relaxing fun-filled night. Before the party we held a business meeting. One of the most significant pieces of information from the business meeting pertained to the upcoming HOFF party. We are expanding the party this year and will have two DJs playing. We will occupy at least two ballrooms at the hotel as well as the bar. Tommy and the social committee need all of our help to get sponsors for gaming tables, auction item donations, and prizes for gaming tickets. We seem to make the most money from liquor baskets. We need folks to get together in small groups to put together liquor baskets and other auction items. Last year we raised almost $5000.00. This year we would like to get that number up considerably. Also, don’t forget to get your raffle tickets for the TV to be given away at the party. We would also like to get as many people out selling tickets for the TV as possible. 1 For all of you going down to SOS, don’t forget we will have our Shooter party in the back room of Fat Harold’s on Thursday night, April 21, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. We will have Chicken Bog as well as a large assortment of free shooters. Make sure to tell all of your friends. Our next party will be held on April 16th. This will be our pre SOS party. If you haven’t already gone down to the beach for SOS, you will want to come out and get ready for SOS with us. Our DJ will be our very own Frank Price. 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 still has SOS cards for sale. 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!

Marie Williams had surgery on her meniscus on March 8th. Please keep her and her family in your prayers. Let us pray for a speedy recovery and good health. Please keep Jack and Darnelle Sweatt in your prayers. Jack is in the hospital/ PMC with Pneumonia Joy Cassidy recently had surgery on her left knee. She had a torn meniscus and was having this taken care of at Charlotte Surgery Center on March 18th. Prayers that she will heal quickly. An update on Darlene Spoon...her eye is doing better! Continue to keep her in your prayers as she continues to recover. Please be thinking of Andy Henry in the coming weeks. Andy recently fell and had to be admitted to PMC. From there he was to go to Health South for rehab. Pray for a quick recovery and good health 6 OUR JUNIORS TAKE ON THE NATIONALS by Debbie Brown On Thursday, March 10, the Spanish Galleon in North Myrtle Beach opened its doors for the 33rd National Shag Dance Competition. It was standing room only. There were five divisions in the competition - Master, Seniors, Non-Pros, Juniors, and Pros. Let me first say, that out of all divisions represented, the one I would not have wanted to judge would definitely have been the JUNIORS. What a terrific group of young people - on and off the floor! We can all be very proud. Our dance is in very good hands. There were (8) Junior I couples, who ranged in ages from 8 - 14 and (10) Junior II couples, who ranged in ages from 15 - 20. Out of these 18 couples, we had 4 couples from our Charlotte Area Junior Shaggers group, with three of them being kids and grandkids of our RH members. Each couple danced Thursday night, being sure to complete the five required steps during their routine. Then again Friday, where it is "anything goes". You are bound to say "WOW - did you see that?" I tell you when the juniors took the floor, they raised the bar and the roof. They were just beyond words. Saturday night began with a tribute to our veterans, which is always very special. Then the cut was made and the finalists danced once more, giving it their all. Before the winners were announced, scholarships were awarded to several juniors from the Beth Mitchell Scholarship Fund. This was just wonderful that "shag" could help in furthering a juniors education and future. We are very proud to say that Jason Long and Lauren Cookman, who are the grandson of Danny & Linda Long and daughter of Duncan & Ruth Cookman, placed 4th in the Junior I division. Congratulations to them both for a fantastic job. We are so very proud of all of our dancers and the hard work they put into their dancing. It takes hours of practice for a competition of this magnitude. You are all to be congratulated for a job well done. They are all such a terrific group of kids and truly love to dance. We also cannot forget those folks who work so hard week after week with our kids to help make them better and move foreward. Ashley and Tobitha Stewart took over the Charlotte Area Junior Shaggers in September after Bill Bateman and Fran Taylor decided to retire. They give freely of their time each week at Lynn's to teach our kids the fundamentals of shag and help them move to the next level. One other special person, who works endlessly with kids and shares our dance all around the round, is Brennar Goree. What a terrific opportunity for our kids to work with these wonderful pros! Thank you Ashley, Tobitha, and Brennar for your time, talent, and dedication to our kids. Everyone in the "shag world" is such a wonderful group of people, and we are all so thankful to have our children and grandchildren experience the special bonds they are forming. Congratulations once again to all those who participated in nationals. You all did a terrific job. Looking forward to Grand Nationals in Atlanta in May.
