you know, it has been a warm winter. Even the daffodils are in bloom, almost a month early. Well, this warm weather did not deter 26 partying fools from venturing down south to Costa Rica.

rie Taylor, et.al. has been the organizing force in planning a trip down south to escape the normally cool weather (as compared to cold that our neighbors in New England and Canada experience).

Even the daffodils are in bloom, almost a month early. Well, this warm weather did not deter 26 partying fools from venturing down south to Costa Rica. For the past three years, Valerie Taylor, et.al. has been the organizing force in planning a trip down south to escape the normally cool weather (as compared to cold that our neighbors in New England and Canada experience). We spent a fantastic week enjoying 95+ degree weather, enjoying the pool and ocean activities, some a fishing trip and even a few took to zip-lining. Not to forget the delicious food, abundant adult beverages, and some quality time on the dance floor. Check out the pictures elsewhere in this newsletter. Rumor has it next year s trip might be to the Dominican Republic or back to Cancun. I m sure by now that you have reviewed the proposed changes to the bylaws and have either mailed your proxy to Sara or plan to attend the General Membership Meeting on March 20 th. Probably not the highest on your priority list but necessary as the bylaws define the guiding principles under which we operate. Hopefully, most who live locally have had the chance to enjoy our Monday night activities at the Country Club. If not, please come and join us for a great evening of socializing and dancing. Now that we have been there a month, any feedback, both positive and otherwise is appreciated. As I indicated at the last GMM, based on the survey results, your board voted to hold the Pig Pickin, Harvest Dance, Fish Fry and NYE Gala again this year (our silver anniversary). We also have a project underway to evaluate an event featuring a live band or two. The CC has indicated a willingness to let us host other events, not just our Monday night activities. The critical success factor for all these events is volunteers, both to chair as well as to assist. A sign-up sheet has been developed where you can sign up on Monday nights or by letting me know. Unfortunately, the reality is that if we don t get participation, especially early for the chair person(s) to volunteer, we will be forced to cancel the particular event. Not to sound like a broken record. we also need someone to take over the newsletter editor and the website positions respectively. These are valuable Continued the next page

I am constantly reminded that shag folks are some of the friendliest folks around; especially the members of our club. The same holds true for the members of other clubs.

I am constantly reminded that shag folks are some of the friendliest folks around; especially the members of our club. The same holds true for the members of other clubs. Although it probably appears to many that all I think about is shag dancing/shag activities. That is false thinking. It s just that when I meet folks that are involved in shag activities, I am always welcomed as if I am a part of their shag family and have known them for ages. Thanks to you for making my shag experience so rewarding. All the best, Bill
