“Dancing The Night Away”

Even though we had to switch to Friday night, 80+ people showed up to party at our June 12th Social. A few people who had attended a gathering next door at Mulligan’s stopped by to check out our event as theirs ended.

Fellow MASS Member Gary Garber, DJ for the evening, played a varied selection of tunes that kept everyone dancing. He was also the winner of the 50/50 drawing and has his wife Jo to thank for pulling that ticket!!!

The Host Team for the event included Donna Myrick, Mike Dubbs, Shirley Cox, Amy & Jim Wilson, and Donn Fields. The table décor included old “45 records” and candles for the “Let’s Dance” theme.

To avoid conflicts with July 4th festivities, this date was changed to July 10th which is also a Friday night. Please remember to mark your calendars for that night and bring some friends and food with you! We kept the same theme of “Independence Day,” so you can wear your patriotic red, white and blue! After July, we are back on schedule with first Saturdays until the end of the year.

September will be here before we know it and it is a busy month with both our fundraiser on September 5 and SOS at the beach. Our Fundraiser Team has its third meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, June 16 at 4 pm at the Elks Club. Any MASS member who would like to attend is welcome. We have the caterer in place and have begun soliciting donations from businesses. Some funds have already been donated: $178 (a 50/50 donation) and an anonymous member donation of $250.

All members are encouraged to make donations for our charities (Special Olympics and Interfaith Food Pantry). Make checks payable to MASS and indicate for charities. If 150 people donate $30 each, then that’s $4500. One other point to remember, anyone who donates $100 will receive 2 tickets to the Fundraiser. If anyone is willing to donate a beach condo or mountain cabin for the silent auction, please contact me. 

SOS Fall Migration is coming up on September 18- 27. I have SOS cards available for anyone who needs them. They are $30 if purchased through MASS and will cost $35 at the beach. Give me a call if you want to get your card before you go to SOS. We also have Fun Monday tickets to sell at $10 each. The drawing will be held at SOS Fun Monday on September 21 when $11,250 will be given away as follows:

First Ticket pulled is the Big Winner of $7,500
Second Ticket pulled will receive $2,000
Third Ticket pulled will receive $1,000
Fourth Ticket pulled will receive $ 500
Fifth Ticket pulled will receive $ 250

The Club and the person that sells the winning ticket of $7,500 will receive $100. These tickets may be sold to anyone, not just Shag Club members. If you want tickets, please let me know. Someone will be selling these tickets at the next two socials. Ticket sales are through September 1. Last year’s big winner was from Laurinburg.

Until next time, Keep Shagging!!!!

(Madam President)
