From Your Club President,

Dear CSC Family,

It has been an amazing August, and it is hard to

believe that fall is upon us. Kudos once again to

everyone who made MMIM a huge success. The MMIM

committee has already met to talk about next year’s party.

Each year we’ve added some new highlights and next

year the fun will continue! The flyer should be out by

December of this year so be on the watch for it!

September holds the promise of some cool weather

for our fall activities. We will be gearing up for Fall

Migration- SOS and will have a Pre-SOS party at Friars.

Thank you to everyone who participated in teaching

shag this summer at Carolina Shag Club Junior Shag

Workshops, Camp Courage, Shagging on Augusta,

Presbyterian College and anywhere else you have had the

opportunity to share our dance.

I hope you have a smooth transition to fall and look

forward to seeing you on the dance floor.

Cheers,

Terry

Comic Corner

Dan was walking home from a Halloween party, when he heard a thumping noise behind

him. THUMP, THUMP, THUMP. When Dan turned around he saw it was a coffin chasing him.

“HELP!” Dan screamed! He ran into his house and tried to slam the door but the coffin

caught the door and chased him up the steps. Dan ran into the bathroom and grabbed the first

thing he saw, cough drops, and threw them at the coffin….and of course the coffin’ stopped.

I tried to catch fog yesterday morning but I mist.

I took the shell off my racing snail, thinking it would make him run faster. If anything, it made

him more sluggish.

What’s brown and sticky?...a stick.

What did the cat say after eating two Robins lying in the sun? “I just love basking Robins”.

Rick Wilson: Concerning Fast Dance fees: Terry Gordon gave her credit card to pay an additional fee to

Fast Dance that was not covered in the one payment made to the Association. Second payment (of

two items that was needed to be paid) was paid. Terry Gordon to be reimbursed for this charge.

Suggestion was made we may need to look at other associations we could use instead of Fast Dance.

Randy Smith noted that he has had to give his credit card to pay for the insurance for our parties. He asked

Must pay for insurance two (2) weeks prior to each party. Angie Peloquin to discuss this with Joe

5) Charity fundraising guideline: Randy Smith noted that after our fundraiser in April (2018) Shrine

Club kept $500.00 deposit to hold our spot for the April 2019 fundraiser. He suggested in the future

a check should be issued to cover this deposit because of accounting purposes. Randy Smith also

suggested that all funds given to our Charities should be done at the end of the year so that all

donations and funds raised are accounted for. Also, he suggested club retain 10% of funds to pay

cost/expenses for each function. This would include Silent Auction for MMIM Party. Randy Smith

made a formal motion that we keep 10% of funds raised for club to cover any expense, 2nd

by Angie

Peloquin (for purpose of discussion only). Discussion: After a very lengthy discussion it was noted

that we cannot change this year (2018) but a committee can be formed to discuss 2019. At this time

all funds from Spring Fund Raiser is split after expenses. No expense deducted from MMIM Silent

Auction or Jr. Dancing for Dollars, Ellen Taylor Foundation. It was suggested club form a

committee to draw up guidelines for our Charity Fundraising. At this point Randy Smith

withdraws his motion. Becky Coley made motion to form a committee, 2nd

by Randy Smith.

Approved. To be discussed at later date.

Committee Reports:

Membership: Steve Woodard: 299 members

MMIM: Steve Woodard: Great 2018 party. Total with weekend/day tickets: 230 attending. Committee to

meet and discuss if we should have MMIM Party 2019 because of all the different parties and lack

of numbers attending. Danny Scott asked to be a part of that committee.

Ways & Means: Not attending. (Dan Ellington stated at the MMIM we profited $500+ because of efforts of

Dot Morgan, B. Martin, Dee Snyder and Dan Ellington). Also, the new marquee was a great

addition to let people know how much the jackpot had grown.
