PRESIDENT-Grayson Goins (336-461-2062) SECRETARIES-Susie Holshouser (704-798-1807) And Sherri Dennis (336-461-2577) TREASURER-Alyce Alexander (704-618-9815) BOD members -Amanda Hall, Linda Manspile, Thelma Pike, Deetra Ragan, Jacky Walton, and Susie Hawkins Dear Fellow Dance Club Members, It has been an OUTSTANDING year within our dance club. All of our parties have been a wonderful success. We have eaten good, danced to great music ,and most of all made wonderful and lasting memories. I would like to thank all of our sponsors for each party and all of the contributions made from all members. Each party was one of a kind from the food to the fellowship! I want to especially thank all of the board members who have served this year, who include: Grayson Goins, Susie Holshouser, Alyce Alexander, Sherri Dennis, Amanda Hall, Linda Manspile, Thelma Pike, Deetra Ragan, Jacky Walton and Susie Hawkins. Wanda Cozart also needs a special thank you for all she does with our half and half fundraising. The RE-UP party is scheduled for March 10. Please be sure to put this date on your calendars, The Magnificents are scheduled to appear so you dont want to miss it! The board is asking for everyone to complete and submit a new application for the 2012-2013 dance club year. The membership fee has increased to $20.00/per person. The board hated to increase the cost but felt it was in the clubs best interest. This is still a reasonable fee for all of the great times had at each party. Finally, I would like to say I have enjoyed being president of such an excellent club. I will not be on the board for the 2012-2013 year, but will ALWAYS be willing to help out in any way possible. So see you in March with your dancing shoes on! Again, thanks for a wonderful year. Bobby Morgan, President

If you are hosting a party, please remember to set-up & clean up...as well as haul off the trash. As trash cans get full, they need to be emptied & a new bag inserted. All trash is to be disposed of, as well as making sure the kitchen & whole clubhouse is clean. Be sure to sweep & mop the floors. You will have to call the guard to open the clubhouse for you & call them back to close it up. Be sure not to leave the clubhouse unsecured. All members, please remember our hosts would love your help. Team effort makes the job easy. The Dance Club BOD decided that $600 maximum will be the funds available to host a party (entertainment & food). Save your receipts and give them to Sherry Sauber for reimbursement. We generally pay for the entertainment & meat. Our members supply the appetizers, side dishes, & desserts. Granted, some of our parties cost us little to nothing as the hosts (and member support) contribute so much. We have many decorations that may apply to your theme, so be sure to check with us to see if we have what you need. Whenever you know the theme, let Nancy Absher know and she will insert into the calendar of events in the newsletter. Also, she will be contacting you before the newsletter is created to obtain the info for your party announcement. Please be sure to thank the ones who host our parties. Their hard work is very much appreciated as we enjoy the food and entertainment that they have organized and provided. Sherry Sauber will be your treasurer & Nancy Absher will be your secretary this year. Alyce Alexander & Susie Holshouser will assist them in the transition.

If you are a member of the dance club and have a business you would like to advertise in our newsletter, please provide your business card to Nancy Absher

Your application for membership (3/2012-2/2013) is attached. Everyone will need to complete a new application this year. Please complete & mail ASAP or bring to the re-up party. It would be nice if we had all applications in the month of March so that your info will be included in the original print of directory. The directory will begin to be prepared right after the re-up party. If you are not going to be at the partyplease mail your application. We will have extra applications at the party. Spread the word, as new members are always welcome! Please make checks payable to Badin Shores Shaggers. That is the name on our checking account. *******************************
