From your Club President, Dot Morgan
Dear Members,
Executive Board members:
President – Dot Morgan
Now that our Mid-winter trip to North Myrtle
Beach and the ACSC Winter Workshop are behind us,
it’s time to work together for some great events in
2015. Your board works continually to plan upcoming
events. Getting involved is fun and gives you the
opportunity to meet and get to know other members
better. If you would like to help with one of our parties
or have party ideas, please see any board member.
President-Elect – Dan Ellington
The CSC board is reviewing the member surveys to
determine what changes might be made in order to
improve our club. We appreciate your comments.
While no commitments have be made to date, the board
looks to implement several suggestions to improve our
parties, provide entertainment and satisfy our members
in general.
Immediate Past President – Rick Wilson
Our club’s relationship with The Phoenix has never
been better. Greta, the General Manager, has acted to
benefit our members as they attend parties and events.
Watch our weekly bulletins and monthly newsletter for
information on room discounts, restaurant and bar
specials. Please support The Phoenix and help us keep
our place to dance. If you are planning a special event,
please consider hosting it at The Phoenix.
Golf Tournament – Glenn Cole, Dan Ellington and
Mark Gordon
Our next event is our annual Re-up/Valentine’s
Party on Friday, January 13. Membership fees are $25
until March 1 when they go up to $30. If interested in
purchasing a name badge, please indicate in the green

has planned a special Valentine’s Day party with The
Rick Strickland Band on Saturday.

Last but not least …..
Where do one-legged dancers go for Breakfast? Ihop.
Why did the two knives go to the dance together? Because they both looked sharp!
Why don't dogs make good dancers? Because they have two left feet!
