July - Rock Hill Area Shag Club

ISSUE 110 kch
Dean Baker
President of the Rock Hill
Area Shag Club
Hello Fellow RHASC Members,
Happy Independence Day!! The summer is in full swing and I keep hearing folks talk
about going to the beach. We actually have a beach trip planned for the end of July, so
we will have our own stories to tell.
The HOFF Vegas Night Party was a huge success. We had 162 attendees for the party.
The decorations and the food were fantastic. The gaming tables were busy from the
start and the music in the bar room was rocking as well. The music was provided by
Frank Price and Dennis Hydrick, who both donated their time.
I really want to recognize and congratulate the Ways and Means committee. They did a
great job putting on this party. We raised $6,555.26 at this party alone. If you add in
the money raised prior to this party for HOFF, we have a total of $7,480.26 raised for
HOFF this year. The club budgeted to contribute $300.00 for food and another
$200.00 for DJ for this party. That brings the total to $7980.26. We will give a check
to HOFF at the summer workshop for $8000.00.
I know a lot of work and planning went in to making this a success. Tommy bought the
TV for the raffle last Thanksgiving. Most people don’t really know how much work it
takes to put all of this together.

This party also means so much to our club. We had Ken Aiken, Chairman of the ACSC,
and a Chairman for HOFF, attend with his wife, Janice. We also had Lisa Caveny, ACSC
Secretary, who came down with Dale Phillips from Greenville. Ron Whisenant attended
our party as well. Ron is a founding member of the RHASC, as well as a founding member of ACSC. Ron is currently President of SOS and Executive Director of HOFF. Ronnie Gregory, SOS board Member, also came with his lovely wife, Mary. Mary is the web
master for shagdance.com as well as a photographer for ACSC/SOS. We were also
blessed to have HOFF Executive Director, Nick Mathis, attend as well.
I would also like to thank all of the people who sponsored tables, donated door prizes
and auction items for the HOFF party. These donations are what drives the amount of
money we are able to raise for HOFF.
Our party will be July 16th this month. Steve Coley will be spinning the tunes. He is always fabulous at keeping the dance floor hopping. The social committee is planning to
have BBQ and fixings for dinner. This should be a great party!
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 now has Fun Monday tickets for sale. I would encourage as many of you as possible to get some tickets from Ronnie to sell to friends and family. The grand prize drawing is for $7500.00. The money raised from these ticket sales help pay for the bands
at Fun Sunday and Fun Monday at Fall Migration in September. The additional funds are
donated to charities supported by SOS.
Ronnie still has SOS cards for sale as well.
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! Have a safe and Happy Independence Day!

In the Good Old Summer Time
By Kaye Hughes
Most of you were probably born and bred in the South. I know I was. Summertime was a special time during the 60s, when we were getting out of school, the humidity was 100 percent and the temperature would
soar to triple digits. With that being said, I have so many fond memories of that time in my life. See if you
remember any of these.
* We would wake up early so we could go out to play and because it was just too plain hot to lie in bed.
* Breakfast came from a cereal box or you had a piece of jelly toast.
* My mom would holler, “If you can’t find anything to do, I will find it for you.”
* All of my friends would gather in the front yard under the elm trees to play.
* We would pack up the car in the evening and go swimming down at the lake or the pond.
* We would get the whole neighborhood together for a game of kickball or rolly bat in the vacant lot down
the street.
* Mom would let us walk to the store and we would buy candy for a penny or an ice cream cone for 5
cents. (We got the money by collecting “coke” bottles)
* Our lunch consisted of a tomato sandwich with Dukes mayonnaise.
* We had to drink out of the hosepipe because mom would not let us in the house.
(My mom often locked the screened door!)
* We would chase after the DDT truck that was spraying for mosquitoes.
* We would sit outside under the trees telling ghost stories at night.
* The kids would take turns sitting on the ice cream churn as dad turned the handle.
* All the girls in the neighborhood would lie out in the sweltering sun with Sun In or lemon juice on their
hair and baby oil all over their bodies.
* I loved when the ice cream truck would come by in the afternoon playing “Pop goes the Weasel.”
* Every evening we would catch lightening bugs in a jar.
* I loved talking into the fan to make the robot sound.
* Remember getting squirted in the back yard?
* In the late afternoon, we would sit under the tall oaks shelling peas and butterbeans at my grandmother’s
house.
* Did you ever get the waxed lips, candy cigarettes, or the little wax bottle drinks?
* When it got steamy hot, we would have to take naps in the afternoon.
* Mom would let us sit on the front porch and drink a tall glass of sweet tea.
* Remember Granny’s beads (I had them every night).
* I would stand and wave at the kids in the Vacation Bible school parade.
* I remember sleeping with all of the windows open listening as the hum of the cicadas lulled me to sleep.
You may not have the same memories that I did, but I hope that yours are as wonderful and nostalgic as
mine!
