To My Shag Club Friends,
As most of you know, it has been a warm winter. Even the
daffodils are in bloom, almost a month early. Well, this warm
weather did not deter 26 “partying fools” from venturing
down south to Costa Rica. For the past three years, Valerie
Taylor, et.al. has been the organizing force in planning a trip
down south to escape the normally cool weather (as
compared to cold that our neighbors in New England and Canada experience).
We spent a fantastic week enjoying 95+ degree weather, enjoying the pool and
ocean activities, some a fishing trip and even a few took to zip-lining. Not to
forget the delicious food, abundant adult beverages, and some quality time on
the dance floor. Check out the pictures elsewhere in this newsletter. Rumor has
it next year’s trip might be to the Dominican Republic or back to Cancun.
I’m sure by now that you have reviewed the proposed changes to the bylaws and
have either mailed your proxy to Sara or plan to attend the General Membership
Meeting on March 20th. Probably not the highest on your priority list but
necessary as the bylaws define the guiding principles under which we operate.
Hopefully, most who live locally have had the chance to enjoy our Monday night
activities at the Country Club. If not, please come and join us for a great evening
of socializing and dancing. Now that we have been there a month, any feedback,
both positive and otherwise is appreciated.
As I indicated at the last GMM, based on the survey results, your board voted to
hold the Pig Pickin, Harvest Dance, Fish Fry and NYE Gala again this year (our
silver anniversary). We also have a project underway to evaluate an event
featuring a live band or two. The CC has indicated a willingness to let us host
other events, not just our Monday night activities. The critical success factor for
all these events is volunteers, both to chair as well as to assist. A sign-up sheet
has been developed where you can sign up on Monday nights or by letting me
know. Unfortunately, the reality is that if we don’t get participation, especially
early for the chair person(s) to volunteer, we will be forced to cancel the
particular event.

tools to communicate, both to the membership as well as to the world.
I am constantly reminded that shag folks are some of the friendliest folks around; especially the members of our club. The
same holds true for the members of other clubs. Although it probably appears to many that all I think about is shag
dancing/shag activities. That is false thinking. It’s just that when I meet folks that are involved in shag activities, I am
always welcomed as if I am a part of their shag family and have known them for ages. Thanks to you for making my shag
experience so rewarding.
All the best,
Bill
President’s Message (continued)
Heading South to
Costa Rica
A joyful group of “party fools” descended on Costa Rica for a fun filled week in the warm temperatures of Central America. Twenty-Six from the OBX Shag Club and River City Shag Club (including friends) enjoyed the great food, adult beverages, pool, beach and many other activities including a river cruise, sunset cruise, snorkeling, shopping, and fishing. The gang also took over one of the bars for nightly dancing.
The gang (from l.) Harvey Taylor, Valerie Taylor, Pete Camerota,
