Mike will invite Julie Gill to the next meeting for the presentation. Mike also stated he will collect the teddy bears from the Christmas party and deliver them to the Tedi Bear Foundation.

Mike stated the dues have been paid to the Fast Dance Association which keeps our club from having any liabilities with copyright issues for music being played at our events. The City Hotel is responsible for covering the Shaggin’ on Sunday events.

Mike then reported that Josh Gurgan talked to him about some concerns he has and asked for feedback from the club. He states the club is not supporting the Bistro when he has beach music bands. He also states the entry fee on Sunday nights will go up to $4.00 on January 1, 2012. He also stated Josh wanted to know if the shag club wanted responsibility for Sunday nights. Discussion was held and ideas given to share with Josh. Several club members stated when the bands come to the Bistro there usually is not enough notice and they start at 10:00 which is too late for most of us. The club stated that we do not want to control Shaggin' on Sunday at the Bistro.

Alan Vick presented the status of the advertising with the radio. He states it will expire on January 12, 2012. The cost is $360.00 for 6 months. A motion was made, seconded and passed to table the issue until the next meeting.

Addie Lou Leggett then presented the idea of a “Yellow Page” advertising page for the newsletter. An insert would be issued once per year to let shag club members know of other members that have a business or offer a service. The advertisement would be a short, one-line statement of their businessand made available to fellow members. A motion was made, seconded and passed to have a “Yellow Page” insert with the newsletter.

Mike encouraged everyone to come to the Bistro on Sunday, January 8th for a “regift party”

Helen Pase states she has one more room available in the condo at Ocean Bay Club for Mid-Winter. The cost is $46.00/person or $92.00/couple.
