Hello Shaggers,

ECSC has just completed its membership drive. 165 members have elected to join

the club. Membership is always open to pass and new members. Please consider

joining the best shag club in ACSC.

May is full of great opportunities for ECSC. These include:

1. Weekly Wednesday shagging at Wild wings. This has been a great success. Having

a place to dance weekly is a blessing. Thank you to all our members who regularly

attend.

2. New members party May 19 at Occasions. All current members are urged to

attend.

3. An Old Time SOS Vinyl party at Wild Wings May 31. Join Mike Swords and Norman

Mills as they give us a special treat to start our summer of fun. Wear your 1950’s

garb. Let’s see who looks the best.

4. Board meeting May 16 at the Anderson Public Library. The meeting begins at

6:00pm. All members are invited. Come and become a part of ESCS.

Many members were in attendance at Spring Safari. ECSC was seen dancing at

Duck’s, Harold’s, Spanish Galleon and the OD Arcade. Our tea party was held at the

OD Arcade. 41 members were in attendance. Fun was had by all.

I attended the ACSC meeting Saturday May 26. The attendance was great. Much

information was distributed to all the club presidents. I will be assimilating this

information for distribution to the membership. It is wonderful to have an ECSC

member on the ACSC Board. Thank you Lisa Caveny for serving and being Secretary

for our parent organization.

April weekly dancing was again blessed by our gift givers. Their generosity is very

much appreciated. Great job Norma Chastain, Bonnie Valine, Gail Kent, Sandy

Swank, Mary and Micky Medlin, Jim and Shirley Bayne. If I inadvertently left anyone

of the list, sorry and thank you.

It is never too early to think about being a candidate for the ECSC Board. All of you

have talents that would greatly serve the Board and ECSC. I challenge you to run for

leadership positions in our club. Talk to our existing Board members if you are

interested.

Service, Sacrifice and Welcome

Love In the Air

Susie and I met thru online dating website called Tender. Being a LSU

grad and Susie growing up in Tuscaloosa, she said "I don't know if a

Bama girl can date a LSU boy." I said "How about we go out and see".

On September 7th , we met for dinner for the first time and talked for 3

hours. I was hooked but didn't know it until months later.

On our second date, Susie said let's go dancing. We went to Wild

Wings and everyone welcomed us with opened arms. Bob Kent came

over and was so kind. We decided shagging was going to be fun. We

took lessons and enjoyed learning from Maggie and Jodi. We never

missed Wednesday nights at the Electric City Shag Club.

By Thanksgiving I knew I was in love with her. It wasn't until months

later in February that Susie said those magic words that brought the

GREATEST JOY to my heart. "I'm in love with you, Jimmy Whitt ".

On April 8th at the Galley restaurant, I asked her to be my wife and

she said "Yes". I am the happiest man in the world.

I am looking forward to moving to Anderson to be with Susie and my

two daughters and five grandsons who live in the Anderson area.

1. Where were you born____________Rock Hill, SC

2. What's your hobbies______________Kayaking, swimming, boating, movies and

dancing

3. Where did you meet your spouse__________ Not Married

4. What got you interested in dancing_______ Myrtle Beach Days' when I was a

teenager

5. Tell us a little bit about yourself________________

I have been divorced for almost twenty years and have two wonderful

grown children. The absolute love of my life is my three year old grandson

who calls me GG. I am retired from the state of SC after working 35 years

counseling students with emotional disturbances and now I work part

time in private practice as a psychotherapist in Ga. I enjoy listening and

dancing to all kinds of music and if I have a glass of wine, all the better. I

grew up living on the lake and it’s in my blood. I am an outdoor person I

love the sun, swimming, fishing, gardening, boating, hiking and working in

the yard. Cooking and eating healthy are absolute favorites of mine

although I can’t do without the cheat days. There is nothing better than

watching movies with homemade chocolate chip cookies and a big glass

of milk. I am passionate about my counseling work. I can truthfully say I

have never worked a day in my life. The career I have been privileged to

hold has always felt like a gift from the Lord.

I attend church at Foothills Community Church in Seneca
