April 2015
Greetings Winston-Salem Shag Club!
Hey gang,
Spring is officially here!!! Yay for longer,
warmer days and upcoming SOS.
In just a few short weeks many of us will be
heading to North Myrtle Beach for Spring Safari –
SOS. Our club will have a party at Fat Harold’s on
Thursday, April 23, from noon to 3:00 pm. Please
bring a snack to share and dance the afternoon away.
On Saturday, April 25, come to Main Street and
see our club’s entry in the SOS parade.
We are excited about 2015 and the plans we have
worked out so far. Our first big event will be our
Oldies Party on Saturday, June 27. We will be at the
Old Clemmons Gym again and ready for an awesome
party. Mark your calendars and plan to join us.
Our club member Gene Hicks has provided this
great way for you to know who your officers are:
It’s not too late to help with our club’s entry in the
SOS parade this month. See Pam Gaither, Linda
Boles, Nancy Weavil or Wrenna Barney and let them
know you want to help. We meet every Tuesday night
from 7:00-8:00pm in the lounge at the Quality Inn &
Suites. This is a great way to meet more club
members and support your shag club while having a
great time.
Help us keep our Friday night dancing going –
come out and support your club. We had great turnouts in February despite all the cold temps.
Wrenna & I look forward to seeing you on the
dance floor.
Regards from the Prez!

Thank you Gene. Gene also provided picutres
from our St. Patrick’s Day party.

Our Friday night attendance has been “off”
lately and we need everyone’s support to keep
our club alive. We pay our DJs and we rely on
our door receipts to do that. We also need
your support of our club’s events. We all wish
that everything was “FREE” but unfortunately
it does cost to put on events so please be
understanding of the cost.
