On Tuesday, September 19^th of SOS, 40 plus members of the OD Shag Club proudly put on their red shirts/blouses and met at Pirates Cove to begin one of two nights of our Annual Bar and Social Crawl.  It was very evident that the OD Shag Club was in the club with visions of red everywhere.  Everyone was getting their adult beverages/drinks and socializing with each other and even with other members of other clubs who where their to enjoy the DJ and the music that was playing.  Many of the club members took to the floor to enjoy the great music that he was playing to keep the energy of SOS going.  After a group picture (a sea of red, I must say), we began to make our way out of Pirates Cove to our next destination, Duck’s.   We were a rowdy group as we headed up the sidewalk to Ducks.  Each one made their way up the sidewalk and acknowledged Tommy and Christina Black who was playing outside, as we entered Ducks Too.  It was also evident that the OD Shag Club was also in the house at Ducks.  Moving the paaarrty up to the Main Ducks, Paul Craver announced that the OD Shag Club was in the house and a great roar was heard around the club.  Again, all socialized, danced to the fantastic music of  Paul Craver.

On Thursday, September 21, 2017, the OD Shag Club had its second night of its Annual Bar and Social Crawl by beginning the night at the OD Arcade.  Some 35 plus members dressed in white this night, attended and enjoyed the spirits, and the dancing.  On queue, we all gathered and left to our next destination, our host club, Fat Harold’s.  We were very excited and quite loud as we walked up the side walk (and we even lost a few members to the Music on Main concert) and crossed the street over to Fat Harold’s.  Waiting at the door to greet us was our own favorite Bartender, Shannon Briggs.  Of course, entering was no quiet matter as the OD Shag Club entered the club.  Of course a fun time, dancing, socializing and enjoying the great music was had by all.

We all look forward to next year as we meet again and enjoy this fun event.

On September 17, 2017 the Annual Fall Migration SOS OD Shag Club Brunch was held at the OD Arcade.  Present and feed were over 300 members and guests.  Wow!  What a great success.  Thank you Chris and your staff for the great job that you did in helping us feed this many people.   Also, thank you to all those who helped serve and to the Hospitality Committee who tirelessly helped to check everyone in.  Whoop! Whoop!!

Terry McCoy welcomed everyone to the event and gave a few announcements and after a blessing by Vice-President, Linda Campbell, breakfast was served.  Everyone waiting for their ticket color to be called, was entertained by the great shag music by the one and only DJ,

Terry McPhail.  Thank you Terry for a great job as always.

We were also entertained as a thank you for all the support that the OD Shag Club as given to two of our local Juniors, Lizzie and Jackson Batten, as they demonstrated their awesome shag talent.  They began by thanking our club and said that they just wanted to dance as a thank you, but before their dance was through, our club had shown more support by tossing some monies on the floor to show how much we enjoyed their dancing.  Keep shagging and we are so proud of you two kiddos!!!

A special presentation was made to Gene Pope from the Richmond Shag Club, who won the Shag Club entry of our Annual SOS Golf Tournament of $400.00 to Junior SOS.  This is the 2^nd Year that Richmond has won and given their winnings as a donation to Junior SOS.  A great big THANK YOU TO THIS GREAT CLUB!!!

Name tag winner was Ken Meyer, Logo Winner was Rich Young and the BIG WINNER of the day was JD Ramseur who won the 50/50. 

Many people filled the dance floor as the brunch came to a close and many visited our Ways and Means tables to see what bargains they could find to proudly display their OD Shag Club logo.
