May - Rock Hill Area Shag Club

Dean Baker
President of the Rock Hill
Area Shag Club
Hello Fellow RHASC Members,
I feel like the spring and summer seasons are getting started early this year. The
weather at the beach for SOS was about as good as you can get for April. The beach
was perfect during the day with lots of people out enjoying the abundant sunshine.
SOS was a blast, so if you were not there, you missed a great time! Rock Hill sponsored the shooter party on Thursday night with Roger Holcomb as the DJ. He played
some fantastic music and Fat Harold’s served some awesome chicken bog. There
were a tremendous amount of people there and the dance floor was full all night.
I was so proud to see so many people from Rock Hill. We have the reputation as a fun
party club and I believe we proved it at SOS!
Our April party was held on the 16th with our own Frank Price as the DJ. The crowd
was a little light compared to most parties, but that was due to folks going down to
SOS early. I like to tell folks that the numbers were not as large as usual, but at
least the right people were there. It was a really good party and Frank kept the
dance floor jumping.

Debra and the Social Committee provided a potato bar for dinner. This is probably my
favorite meal of the year. There were so many compliments about the food.
Our next party will be held on May 21st. There will be a business meeting prior to the
party beginning at 7:00. Dana Grubb will be the DJ. I’m expecting a large crowd for
this party, come early and join the festivities.
As always I would like to encourage you to come to our Friday night Meet and Greet
sessions. We always have such a good time on Friday nights, you don’t want to miss out.
Ronnie still has SOS cards for sale.
I look forward to seeing all of you at our club events. I encourage each of you to visit
our web site at http://www.rock-hill-area-shag-club.com/. Take a look at the calendar
to keep up with upcoming events. You can also access the newsletters, party pictures,
and also learn more about our club.
See you on the dance floor!
Dean Baker
From our family to yours: Have a safe and blessed Memorial Day and please
take time to remember our fallen heroes and those brave men and women
who served (and continue to serve) our country well.

News from the Social Committee:
The April Pre-SOS party was a blast and a great prelude for heading to the beach. We had less attendance than usual as some of our members had already headed to SOS but those that were there had
a great time. Frank Price, our club DJ, did a fabulous job and kept the dance floor hopping –
THANKS Frank!
