We had a great summer with our dances both local and all up and down the east coast. We learned some new footwork and shared time with old and new friends. It doesn’t get any better than that! As we go into winter, we have the SOS mid- winter to look forward to in Myrtle Beach. This is a good time to go down when it is not quite as busy as spring and fall. I hope you can plan to give it a try if you have nev- er been. It is a nice break from the cold and post holidays. No bad moods allowed. Also, you know there are many opportunities in our local area to dance, to see bands and hear our great DJs. Keep an eye on our admission table at Shannon’s on Thursday nights to see what is going on in and around town. We actually have some sur- prises coming up for our BBC so stay tuned and come out and join us so you won’t miss anything. We are so happy with our new mem- bers joining us. Thanks to every- one, our Thursday nights have been full of fun and high spirits. We are the best, e v e r… We are still pushing to have 100 or more members by the end of the year…so if you can, bring some new folks to try us out. They may join and you will be recognized for helping us meet our goal! Our next big event on our calendar is our Christmas party on December 11 at the Hospi- tality House Washington ballroom. We are planning to have a big dance floor and lots of good food and flare. So plan to join us. There is so much to look forward to. It has been my pleasure this year and many other years over the 10 years, to be your Presi- dent. But, we all need breaks and for 2015, I will be stepping down from the President’s seat and take that break. Although I will not be as visible, there are some very ca- pable folks that will be filling the BBC management roles. The BBC will remain strong and vibrant! Even though I will not be serving in the leadership capacity, my pas- sion and seasoned support of the BBC will continue. So, everyone embrace your strengths and keep the ball rolling. Love your family and friends and cherish your times together. I will see you at the dance lessons, on the floor and in my heart of hearts. Big hugs to everyone and let the good times roll!

CREATE DANCE HISTORY CREATE A MEMORY
President’s Letter… Audrey Borja
Fredericksburg, Virginia November/December 2014 Vol 9 No. 6
So, here we are in November,
where does the time go. Our sea-
sons seem to quickly come and go
and we are now gearing up for the
most festive time of year. I just
put away the scare crows and am
getting ready to pull out the turkey
platter. But, we are having fun,
right! Our dances and friendships
provide the fuel to power us up.
What would we do without these
critical parts of our lives? We had
a great summer with our dances
both local and all up and down the
east coast. We learned some new
footwork and shared time with old
and new friends. It doesn’t get any
better than that! As we go into
winter, we have the SOS mid-
winter to look forward to in Myrtle
Beach. This is a good time to go
down when it is not quite as busy
as spring and fall. I hope you can
plan to give it a try if you have nev-
er been. It is a nice break from the
cold and post holidays. No bad
moods allowed. Also, you know
there are many opportunities in
our local area to dance, to see
bands and hear our great DJs.
Keep an eye on our admission table
at Shannon’s on Thursday nights to
see what is going on in and around
town. We actually have some sur-
prises coming up for our BBC so
stay tuned and come out and join
us so you won’t miss anything. We
are so happy with our new mem-
bers joining us. Thanks to every-
one, our Thursday nights have
been full of fun and high spirits.
We are the best, e v e r… We are
still pushing to have 100 or more
members by the end of the year…so
if you can, bring some new folks to
try us out. They may join and you
will be recognized for helping us
meet our goal! Our next big event
on our calendar is our Christmas
party on December 11 at the Hospi-
tality House Washington ballroom.
We are planning to have a big
dance floor and lots of good food
and flare. So plan
to join us. There
is so much to look
forward to. It has
been my pleasure
this year and
many other years
over the 10 years, to be your Presi-
dent. But, we all need breaks and
for 2015, I will be stepping down
from the President’s seat and take
that break. Although I will not be
as visible, there are some very ca-
pable folks that will be filling the
BBC management roles. The BBC
will remain strong and vibrant!
Even though I will not be serving
in the leadership capacity, my pas-
sion and seasoned support of the
BBC will continue. So, everyone
embrace your strengths and keep
the ball rolling. Love your family
and friends and cherish your times
together. I will see you at the
dance lessons, on the floor and in
my heart of hearts.
Big hugs to everyone and let
the good times roll!

Battlefield boogie club’s Halloween party was filled with Lots of fun monsters, ZOMBIES, and weird HAPPY creeps that shagged the night aWAY… By Don Borja
You wonder how so many creepy people could have so much fun! Maybe it was our guest dj ,Butch adeimy , with his fantastic Carolina shag blues music that got things started on a roll. Then again, I Don’t know if it Was the spirits floating in air or the spirits in our ghoulish drinks on the table filled with chilling ice. Who knows...maybe it was a 100% proof. But for sure, it was a 100% fun. Jewell Pradier our infamous zombie line dance instructor led the dance “thriller” on the floor and got everyone fired up in the grave-yard. As a matter in fact, she cast a spell on all of us To dance the night away. she also won most of the prizes and games except for a scarecrow (Cathy Doggett) who no body could guess who it was until late into the evening. Jewell & Cathy shared the spoils in the costume contest. Cathy Donated her money prize back to the club. There were no other lucky ducks...or should I say ,only a lucky zombie with a terrific shagoween spell and a scarecrow who kept us out of the pumpkin patch most of the evening.
