Boogie In The Bluegrass  
From The President's Desk
    
 

     

   
 


 


 


 


 


 

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and Black Friday weekend. The scene is now set for a big Christmas season. Hopefully everyone has been nice not naughty and will get everything they want for Christmas. If its music and dancing you're asking for, you've come to the right place!
 

DJ Eric will kick off the Christmas boppin' season with a great set for you this Tuesday at Porter's. Come down and join us for a great night of dancing. We start at 6:30 and go to 10 pm. I'm sure Eric can't wait to play all your favorites.
 

Then next Saturday you have our annual Holiday Ball on Saturday December 13th from 6 pm until 11 pm. Why 6 pm.? We're having a terrific dinner to top off a great year for DCBA. Dinner will be served at 6:30. So, make plans to be early. Dan and Jennifer will have everything dressed up to make a great impression and make sure you dress the same way! This is a big night for our members and the admission is only $5 for members and $20 for non-members. This is the only dance where we do not give a discount to other club members. This is your dance. Thanks to all our members who have made this year such a special one.
 

If you haven't renewed your membership yet, the Holiday Ball would be a good incentive for you to do that. If you are a non-member, you can save $15 by joining the club for $35 or $10 by renewing for $25. If you haven't gotten around to renewing, now's the time. 

Thanks,

Membership Renewal Membership Renewal Time
For Those Members Renewing
At The End Of The Year









It's time to think about renewing your membership for 2015 in Derby City Bop Association.

Many of our members have a renewal date of December 31st. Only members joining since 2013 have memberships renewing in the month of their join date.

Derby City Bop began using a new system of membership renewal in 2013. One of the features allows the club to begin using the join date as the renewal date. Renewal forms will be mailed to members as their memberships expire and of course, all the usual methods of renewal will still apply.

Members who joined prior to the first couple of months in 2013 will have a renewal date of 12/31 of each year.

For only $35.00 per year you get free entry into Jim Porters, a value of over $200.00 alone! You also get reduced price entry into all of our monthly dances which include snacks and in the case of our Holiday Ball, a full dinner.

Of course there is value which isn't measured in dollars. You are part of one of the most successful dance clubs in the country with an annual membership averaging around four hundred members.

You get to dance to the music of our club's four DJ's who play for us on some of the most sophisticated equipment of any dance club in the country.

We also keep you posted on the latest news for our club as well as our sister clubs from around the country via our web site, our regular emails, and our club newsletter!

Of course we can't forget Boogie In The Bluegrass! Since our club is so successful, it allows us to put on one heck of a great party each year where our members can meet up with our friends from around the country for three days of great fun!

All in all, it's a great value for such a small sum of money!

There are a variety of ways to renew. You may download and print a renewal form from our website which you may fill out and mail with a check. You may pay at any of our club functions. You may also choose to renew and pay online at our club's web site using PayPal. Remember, you do not need to have a PayPal account in order to pay using this method. PayPal accepts any major credit or debit card as well as e-checks and of course if you have a PayPal account, you have several payment options through their service.

There has been a change in the cruise date and the ship.

The ship has been changed to the Caribbean Princess, a Grand Class Princess ship, much larger than the originally scheduled ship and what a beauty she is.

To make things even better...we get a private lounge on the ship for dancing!

There are dance lessons galore and great fun with friends!

Many of our DCBA members have reserved Balcony rooms on deck 10.

They throw open the connecting doorways between balconies and party together.

It's great fun!

No Frills New Years Eve Dance



Lora Clark wanted to let everyone know they are having a No Frills New Years Eve Party. Lora's dance description and a flyer are below.

The dance we are having is just that, a dance.  Nothing special.  I wanted to tell everyone about it in case people are looking for a place to go.

 

We rent the VFW on Grantline Rd in New Albany.  They have a nice big wood floor.  Drinks are cheap.

 

We are playing music from my ipod.  Last year many people brought appetizer type snacks to share (leftover Christmas goodies).  There was plenty.

 

We dress very casual (no need to buy anything special to wear or get your hair done etc) and the price is $12 in advance or $15 at door to cover the cost of renting the hall.  We had a great time.

 

Anyway, here's the flyer and my contact info if someone has questions.

 

Thanks!

DCBA logo small DCBA Club Store

We have made arrangements with Embroidery On Demand to provide various items with our club logo to our members. Many of you who attended Boogie In The Bluegrass may remember Embroidery On Demand as one of our most popular vendors. They provided some outstanding items with our club logo embroidered onto them. Embroidery is so much more attractive and long lasting than screen printed items.

 

Embroidery On Demand has created a DCBA Web Store with various items available to our members.

  

We have received a few samples for people to view but rest assured, these are high quality garments.

 

The DCBA Web Store is now open and we hope to add new items as we develop this concept.

 

Click This Link To Visit The DCBA Web Store 

  

 

Would you like to see the 25th anniversary logos available through the end of the year only? Embroidery On Demand created these logos which may be used on apparel purchased through our DCBA web store or by purchasing apparel at our upcoming Boogie In The Bluegrass Dance. These logos will be retired as of December 31st, 2014 and will not be available again, so get your logo apparel while you can!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We hope you like the 25th anniversary logos so be sure to contact Embroidery On Demand to order your apparel!
