Get To Know Your Officers For 2011-2012

John Carpenter- President and Chairman of the Board

I was born in PA where I never was exposed to the shag. I moved to South Carolina and while there was plenty of shagging there, I did not learn how to shag until I met this pretty girl named Robin Morley. I am now one of those many people who can say that the dance has changed my life. I have three children, Maxton, Amber, and JT, and my cat TJ. I coached high school wrestling for 12 years and love to play the harmonica. This is my second year as President, and I truly love our Club and I am always open to suggestions to make SBSC even better.

Shirlene Wike-Vice President

Susan Whisnant-Secretary

I live in Morganton, NC and have been an active member of SBSC since the ‘90’s. I have watched our club grow over the years and am greatly enthused by all the wonderful, fun, and friendly members we have. It is my pleasure to serve as the club’s secretary and to keep SBSC members and shagging friends up-to-date about our club through our monthly newsletter.

Marie Young- Treasurer

I'm originally from Wilson, NC. I moved here in 1974 to begin a teaching career. I am now a retired teacher (32 years) but still do substitute teaching. My husband (Denny) and I love to dance (even though we shag "our way"). We have been members of the SBSC since the early 1990's. I've learned a lot about finances as I have served as co-treasurer and treasurer for over 5 years. 

Jim Noggle-Member At Large

Arlene Coley-Past President

I am married to “The Love of My Life” , Steve, we have a beautiful daughter, Christie, and two little Yorkies, Jeter & Bella, that are our babies. We reside in Conover, Shag in Morganton….love our SBSC Family, making wine in my laundry room, working in our yard, and just being with our friends. We started shagging when Christie went to Chapel Hill in 1995 and haven’t stopped.
