RALEIGH SHAG CLUB EMERGENCY MEETING 

MINUTES – 7-28-24 

The meeting was called to order by President Karen Brown at 6:05. 

President Brown announced the purpose of the meeting was to decide the future of the 

RSC. The Sgt. At Arms, Brenda Greenburg and Treasurer, Gary Kramling, had submitted their resignations effective 7-15-24. Karen planned to resign as President & VP Patti Battle declined to step up to the office of President due to medical reasons.  The question to be considered under New Business was where do we go from here? 

Treasurer’s report - Given by Margaret Griffin as prior Treasurer had given her the financial records.  She reported bank balance as of 7-15-24 was $2,316.319 but that was not the actual balance due to outstanding bills & checks written. We owe Ronn Knott for his payment to Constant Contact, SOS cards close out (pass through money).  Margaret estimated the final balance would be around $1,800. 

Membership – 52 with 23 active members present. 

New Business – There was a great deal of discussion of the pros & cons of continuing 

vs. dissolution of the Raleigh Shag Club.  It was pointed out that in order to continue we would need a new slate of officers along with active participation by members and a new venue.  Discussion also included possible reasons for the decline in attendance and participation.  Marlin Eshleman made a motion that the RSC be dissolved as of 7-28-24. 

Motion seconded. Vote passed by a majority. 

RSC By-Laws – Article XI – DISSOLUTION – states the club may be dissolved by two-thirds (2/3) vote of members present at the meeting.  It also states that assets shall be disposed of in accordance with law and upon direction by the membership. 

Jim Riley made a motion to donate what was left in our checking account after all bills were paid, to Hospice or Transitions LifeCare.  Motion seconded and approved by a majority. 

Joni Hall reminded us that we had supplies in the closet.  Liz Ross & Margaret Griffin will work on cleaning those out.  Jim & Kathy Riley will handle cleaning out any decorations still in their garage. 

A final check will be sent to SOS along with unsold cards by Margaret Griffin. 

Copy of these minutes will be sent to the President of ACSC along with a request for information on any action we need to take with ACSC. 

Various people encouraged everyone to stay active in the shag community and consider 

joining one of the other clubs in our area such as Capital Area,Bass Lake or others. 

Joni Hall was given a round of applause & thanked for allowing us to meet there for so many years. 

The meeting was adjourned at 7:00.
