OD Shag Club Members – My name is Vickie Parsons, and it is with great pleasure that I announce my opportunity to run for a 2nd term as Treasurer of the OD Shag Club.
I’m currently a resident of Shallotte, NC after relocating from Asheboro, NC in 1984. I’m fortunate to work for the Dunes Club in Myrtle Beach as their Administrative/Accounting Assistant, and just celebrated my 21st year of employment.
I have been a member of the OD Shag Club for 13 years. In my earlier years, I served on the Entertainment Committee and Membership Hospitality Committee. Also, when member information was not available through our own wonderful website, I was responsible for the actual mailing to over 700 members the monthly newsletter. This was not entirely a one-person job, and was accomplished with the combined help of Phil and Mimi Benedict and Paul and Vickie Harrison. I served on the 2016 SOS Spring Safari Parade committee, volunteered my time where needed, but most importantly, I am currently serving as your 2017 Treasurer. I have been fortunate this year to work with some amazing people who are dedicated to serve on our OD Shag Club Board and its Committees. Kudos to all their efforts!
Music and dance have been a passion of mine since a very young age. As a young person, my beach/shagging fun was experienced in Carolina/Kure Beach and not until 1998 did I experience the wonderful shagging life in N. Myrtle Beach and the OD Shag Club.
If given the opportunity, I will gladly serve as your Treasurer for a 2nd term with honor and integrity and continue to preserve with everyone else the dance we all love “The Shag”
20170819 Nominations Party
Nominations Party
by
Linda Campbell
At Fat Harold’s, August 19th, 2017, our great Hospitality Team began greeting each and every one of our OD Shag Club members and their guests for our Nominations Party. Out in the parking lot to the side, one could see the busyness of members preparing our Bar-b-que for the dinner to be served for the night.
Gary Bass was in the DJ booth playing tunes to get the crowd up and on their feet. Shagging to the oldies, the new hits we hear on Wednesday and Fridays, and of course, all the favorites that we love to dance to.
The party began right at 6:00pm with President Terry McCoy welcoming everyone and making some announcements. He then turned the microphone over to Nominations Chair Vic Gillespie who announced the nominations for the 2018 Board of the OD Shag Club. Those running are: Board of Directors: John Seltzer, Al Grosgrove, Nancy Sook and Jerry Howard. Treasurer: Vicky Parsons, Secretary: Donna Williams, Vice President: Bill Bacon and for President: Linda Campbell.
Congratulations to Vicky, Donna, Bill and Linda who will run unopposed and will be the officers for 2018.
After the nominations were announced everyone was excited to get their food card called so they could sink their teeth into some wonderful Bar-b-que and all the fixin’s. Thank you to Faye Chowning, Donnie and Wendy Shultz, Jim and Wanda Queen, Susan and Kevin Harrell, Bill Bacon, Terry McCoy, Tim and Cassy Shumway and Cindy Day for the MAGNIFICIENT job that you guys did in cooking, and transporting, preparing and getting servers for the Bar-b-que. Everything was delicious!!! We even got to buy what was left to take home for later! Yumm!!
Drawings were held before the night ended for the nametag and logo and those lucky winners were Sandy Ramseur and Linda Campbell. I believe there is still a question as to the winner of the 50/50 as to whether it was Mama Vicky Harrison and Wanda Queen or was it Paul Harrison…Story to come later! Ha!
Gary Bass also presented back to the club his monies that we pay him to play. Aww! Thank you Gary…we do appreciate YOU!!
One could say that we had a great night of food, fellowship, and dance and look forward to the upcoming SOS and the Elections party in October to vote on the rest of the Board of Directors who will continue to move this ODSC forward as the BEST SHAG CLUB EVER!

Charity Fun Run

The annual Charity Fun Run was held on July 29th. Even though it was raining at our first stop, the rain stopped before we left to travel to our second stop. The weather cooperated for the rest of the day, so if you let the rain scare you off, you missed a great time. We traveled from the OD Arcade to Castaways on to 710 Bowling Alley, next step Deckerz and our last stop was our home club, Fat Harold’s. All locations did a great job and a lot of fun was had at each stop. It seems that “a lot”….was the word of the day as we had “a lot of beverages consumed”, “a lot of 50/50 tickets sold”, and “a lot of raffle prizes” were given to the participants.
There were quite a few prizes given away this year. We had over 60 raffle prizes, lst place, 2nd place, 3 winners for smallest point total and the 50/50 winner. Thanks to everyone who participated in some way and many, many thanks to everyone who worked on the event!
The most important part of our day is that our charity for the event was the big winner. Our designated charity for this event was one that fits right in with our goal as a shag club. Our stated purpose is to preserve, promote and perpetuate the shag dance and what better way to do this than supporting a group that has won national dance competitions and was invited this year to participate in national and international competitions….. the Junior Shagger Dance Team.
Many thanks again to everyone who worked this event. Without these people volunteering to work, this event would not occur. Special thanks to Donnie Schultz, Wendy Schultz and Monica Powell, our chairpersons for this event. They worked really hard behind the scenes to make sure that you had a good time and everything went without a hitch.
Next year, don’t let anything stand in your way of enjoying the comraderies and fun of this event! As a reminder, this is a rain or shine event. No matter the weather, the ODSC always has a great time!
