From Your Club President,

Hello CSC Shaggers!

Kudos! Kudos! Kudos! to all who made the Valentine's

Re-up membership party a resounding success! Decorations,

Food and the Amazing Line Dance entertainment made this

Valentine's party extra special. Martha, Jean and all our line

dancers have brought back a wonderful part of our shag club.

Thank you once again to Billy Waldrep for spinning the

tunes, and congratulations to Billy on the recent announcement

of his upcoming induction into the Beach Shaggers DJ Hall of

Fame which will be held during DJ Throwdown the first

weekend in March. For those attending DJ Throwdown, he

will be inducted at Fat Harold’s Beach Club in North Myrtle

Beach on Friday night, March 2nd

at 10:00 p.m.

Our Carolina Shag Club Charity Classic fundraiser

featuring The Tams is Saturday, April 7th

Three dreams of a man: be as handsome as his

mother thinks, be as rich as his child believes,

have as many women as his wife suspects.

*****

At the Georgia/Arkansas baseball game, a

Georgia batter hit a line drive down the baseline.

Arkansas’ razorback mascot quickly ran for

the ball, grabbed and swallowed it so the officials

called ‘Time Out’ and began debating what to do.

After some discussion they decided to rule the

play an”inside the pork home run”.

*****

A drunken man was in front of a judge. The

judge says, ‘Sir you’ve been brought here for

drinking.’ The drunk says: ‘Okay, let’s get

started.’

Ever Wonder? What do gardeners do after

they retire?

The children of Israel wandered around the

desert for 40 years. Even in biblical times, men

wouldn’t ask for directions.
