Society of Brunswick Shaggers - PO Box 274 - Oak Island, NC 28465 www.societyofbrunswickshaggers.com Greetings Fellow SOBS, It is with great excitement that we begin the preparations for our “Operation Uplink” event to be held on Friday, October 13, 2017 at the OKI Moose Lodge #2059 Family Center. This annual event includes a dance with legendary DJ John “Fessa” Hook, a Silent auction and a multi-item raffle. The Moose Lodge menu and a full cash bar will be available. All profits from the event will be donated to the VFW’s Operation Uplink and Brunswick County’s New Hope Clinic. VFW’s Operation Uplink provides free call days and Internet time to service men and women across the globe. Hospitalized heroes here at home also benefit from the project. Over the past 12 years the Society of Brunswick Shaggers has donated over $40,000 to this worthy cause. For additional information: [email protected] or call (816) 968-1155. The New Hope Clinic operates a 4,000 sq. ft. facility in Boiling Spring Lakes where they provide care five days per week and lim- ited services offered at a satellite clinic in Shallotte. In addition to primary medical care, they offer specialty clinics for urology, EKG, dental, diabetes treatment, and medical eye care. There is a limited pharmacy onsite and a Pharmacy Assistance Program. A small staff and over 150 volunteers, including doctors, dentists, FNPs, PAs, pharmacists, nurses, medical & dental assistants, and administrative support personnel, contribute annually over 10,000 volunteer hours to provide nearly 6,000 patient encoun- ters. They help nearly 1,000 patients each year, but the need is even greater. For additional information: newhopeclinicfree.org or call (910) 845-5333. We are inviting you to contribute to this effort. Please consider soliciting items for our auction and raffle. Your community businesses and friends will only know of our event if you help spread the word. A restaurant which you frequent may be inter- ested in donating a gift certificate or a store where you regularly shop may donate an item or a gift card. A letter to introduce our event is being provided to you on page 4 and a flyer on page 5 to print out and take to your friends in the community. The solicitation letter provides a place for you to document the donation in order to properly thank our business community members after the event. It also provides a receipt to the donor.

  • The Carolina Shaggers: Dance As Serious Leisure
    Journal of Leisure Research Copyright 2007 2007, Vol. 39, No. 4, pp. 623-647 National Recreation and Park Association The Carolina Shaggers: Dance as Serious Leisure Carroll A. Brown Western Carolina University The concept of serious leisure (Stebbins, 1992) was used to investigate the social world of shag dancing to determine the reasons for long-term involvement and commitment to the dance. Data were collected over a three-year period through in-depth interviews at regional shag festivals. A method of ethnographic analysis was used to analyze the data (Spradley, 1979). Two types of dancers, casual and serious, were identified and differentiated into five subtypes. Results confirm Stebbins (1992) six qualities of serious leisure. Friendship was cited as the most important reason for long-term involvement and commitment to the dance. Findings indicate the shag world is a combination of serious leisure and casual leisure. Participants choose their level of involvement based on changing life- style needs. KEYWORDS: Casual leisure, commitment, fun, serious leisure, social worlds. Introduction "Modern America is an archipelago of subcultures, a land where, to a peculiar extent, people shape their lives around private passions, and form national families of kindred spirits" (Sides, 1992). The involvement of indi- viduals in particular leisure activities has been the focus of an increasing number of studies. This tendency can be attributed to the increased interest of researchers in showing how people become involved in leisure activities, why they cease or continue to be involved, and the development of a con- tinuous, career-like commitment to an activity (Mannell & Kleiber, 1997).

  • Arthur Murray's Paper on History of Dances
    The music begins - fingers snap, bodies become restless, and feet begin to itch. It is almost impossible to listen to music and not be stirred to rhythmic movements of one kind or another. We hum, we sing, we whistle, we sway, we clap, we strum, and ultimately we find ourselves dancing. All societies, from the most primitive to the most cultural, share a common need for dance. Many feel the urge, but do not know how to express it in an open forum. Learning to respond to basic rhythms opens up a delightful new world to everyone who has ever tried it. Social dancing today is one of the most popular pastimes in the world and is enjoyed in every country by people of all ages. It is stimulating, both mentally and physically – the care and frustrations of the work day world vanishing on the dance floor. Even more, the need to dance and express oneself, through dance, goes deeper than pure enjoyment. The need is so ingrained in the human race that history itself can be traced through the study of dance. The bases of popular dance are numerous. First, social dance helps to fulfill the need for identity with communal activities. Second, it is related to courting, in which the male displays his ability to move his partner in harmony with himself. In most social dances the male role is dominant; the female that of a follower. Third, popular dancing, especially before the 20th century, was often used to celebrate such events as weddings, the harvest, or merely the end of a working day.

I hope this next year will be a safe and healthy one for all of our members and their families. We had a wonderful Holiday Party at the Fort Myer community center on Dec. 16th. Thanks to all who helped plan and organize this party. We had a large turn-out of members and guests who kept the dance floor filled for hours while dancing to the great shagging music played by Eddie O’Reilly. It was nice to see so many new faces and welcome back some members we don’t see very often. Thanks to all the members of the NVSC 2006 Board of Directors. We appreciate all the hard work you did to provide NVSC members with a year filled with fun events and opportunities to dance and socialize with others who love to dance the Carolina Shag as much as we do. Your new Board of Directors for 2007 is looking forward to working with all of the members of NVSC to make 2007 an outstanding year for our Club. We are your representatives elected to lead our social and dance organi- zation. We need your ideas and suggestions throughout the year. Look for us on Wednesday nights at Rene’s.

  • Bb&T Blue Skies and Golden Sands Tour
    BB&T BLUE SKIES AND GOLDEN SANDS TOUR - PROGRAM NOTES Blue Skies and Golden Sands continues a musical journey that embarked at the start of the North Carolina Symphony’s 75th anniversary season in September 2006. A special pops concert called Blue Skies and Red Earth brought the orchestra together with some of North Carolina’s finest folk musicians for a grand celebration of our state’s musical heritage. Blue Skies and Red Earth thrilled audiences with the sheer depth and breadth of homegrown musical traditions that have evolved over centuries. From haunting Cherokee flute music to the propulsive sounds of the fiddle and banjo, from stately spirituals to ecstatic gospel, from earthy blues to sophisticated jazz, the anniversary program showed the Tar Heel state to be a wellspring of musical treasures. Despite having enlisted dozens of guest artists who performed ten or more styles of music, Blue Skies and Red Earth by no means exhausted North Carolina’s musical resources. A few months after the final performance, planning commenced on a follow-up concert to highlight music oriented more to the state’s eastern shores than the rolling hills and mountains to the west. It began with what seemed like a casual question: “What about beach music?" As most Carolinians know, beach music refers to a body of popular songs that provides just the right mood and rhythms for a popular style of swing dancing called the Carolina Shag. Once heavily associated with beach clubs and dance pavilions from Wilmington, North Carolina to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, shag dancing is performed all over the Southeast nowadays, and many commercial radio stations present the classic beach playlist over the air waves.
