President’s Letter to Allow yourself Membership To be a beginner Dear Fellow Members, No one starts out Being perfect WOW!! The only word I can use to describe the Swinging

Together Workshop. The day began with three great lessons provided by Stevie Bliss, Don and Jennifer Ewell, and our own Jimmy Flynn and Christine Graor. A delicious buffet followed complete with desserts provided by members of both clubs and music supplied by Jim Watson. Next, but certainly not least, Deejays Fiona, JD, Mary & Lou kept the dance floor full as they spun fantastic tunes. The Executive Boards of Mid Ohio Club and Ohio’s North Coast Jitterbug Connection may have planned the event, but YOU, the attendees, and your enthusiasm are what made the event so successful. A big heartfelt thank you to all who were involved. Please check out the pictures of this event on our website, www.oncjc.org, under the PHOTO GALLERY.

Our next big event is our annual Fall Dance being held at The Heritage Barn in Stow on Friday, October 19th. Tickets for the dinner/dance are $20/person and will be going on sale for only 4 weeks, beginning Wednesday, September 19 through October 10, 2018. Don’t wait to get your ticket as only 100 will be sold. Linda Rios and her Committee always plan a fun-filled evening. For more information see the flyer enclosed with this newsletter.

Also look for the information on how to order your club apparel on line. Embroidery on Demand, with the assistance of our Board, has created a site to display and order several items embroidered with our club logo. There is a direct link to this site on the ABOUT SECTION of our club website. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Do you or someone you know want to be more involved with YOUR club? Opportunity is knocking as nominations will be taken at the October 10th General Membership Meeting at 6:45 pm. Been a member of the club for at least 6 months in good standing and have a desire to work with others in the best interest of the club are all that is required to become a Trustee. Three positions will be available. A one-year membership in good standing is required to be nominated as Secretary which also opens up this year. Presidency requires that you have held an Executive position for one 2-year term. Several members of the club can qualify for this position. Are you ready, willing and able to fill these slots? Please consider throwing your hat into the ring in October.

Until next time, enjoy the crisp, cooler days!

As always happy to be your President

This event was sponsored by ONCJC and the Mid-Ohio Boogie Club. It was held in Mansfield, Ohio, August 11. The floor was full of dancers and fun.

Three workshops were well attended as three and four lines needed to be formed on the large dance floor. Great moves were learned for Westcoast , 2 and Shag.

And that was just the beginning of the single day of dance food, and wonderful socializing of dancers from several dance clubs, cities and states. LET’S DO IT AGAIN!

Below are a few photos from the event. There are many more now available in the ONCJC Photo Gallery and at the Mid-Ohio Boogie Club site .
