From the President
Dear Capital City Shag Club members and friends,
The purpose of the club
shall be to promote
fellowship and harmony
among its members, to
preserve shag dancing
and beach music, and to
introduce shagging to
juniors and others
through social and
charitable events and
workshops.
I hope you all had a chance to attend our Eighth Anniversary
Party. As usual the food was excellent and plentiful, so
thanks go to Wayne Stephens for making the arrangements
with Little Pig BBQ. The music by our DJ, Jimmy Munn was
great as it always is. My thanks to Betty Jeffcoat for helping set up; to Ola Mae Ellisor
for handling the dessert table; to Lynn Betterley at the Registration table; to the food
servers: Roxanne Burkett, Pat Williams, Wade Wolverton and Wayne Stephens; and to
Betty Jeffcoat for serving the drinks. A big THANK YOU to all of you.
Capital City Club Our members partied with the members of Capital City Club on
September 24. Thanks to Jimmy Munn and Barney Mims for providing the music.
Shag Extravaganza VIII Plans are underway for our next Park and Party weekend
which will be held at the DoubleTree Hotel on Bush River Road and at the Jamil Shrine
Center. The dates are March 31 andApril 1 at the DoubleTree and April 2 at Jamil. Look
