Membership of a new club is submitted by a member of the Chairman s Committee who will recommend and present the club for acceptance to the Executive Board after visiting the club to be sure they conform to the modern Western Style of Square and/or Round Dancing. The Federation will maintain a membership affiliation with the United States Dancers of America (USDA) and make available economical dancer accident and group liability insurance to member clubs of the Federation at a rate developed by USDA.

The remainder of the meetings for the year shall be held each fifth Saturday at a place determined by the host club with the approval of the Federation Officers. Should a fifth Saturday occur in the same month as the South Carolina Square and Round Dance Convention, that Federation meeting and dance will be canceled. Member clubs that do not have a Representative at three (3) consecutive meetings of the Executive Board will be dropped following the third meeting absence to the bottom of the rotation list for hosting a Federation Dance and will remain in that sequence. The Federation and the South Carolina Callers Association will host the dance known as the South Carolina Square and Round Dance Convention jointly. The dance held on the fifth Saturday will be known as the Federation Dance and will be hosted by a member club. All proceeds will go to the host club to compensate for their expenses. A host club will be decided by following the sequence of the member clubs established by the Federation.

Federation clubs will submit dues and a current roster of officers and members at the beginning of the calendar year. Any club with delinquent dues after the South Carolina Square and Round Dance Convention will be dropped from the Federation roll. Before a club can be reinstated, it will be necessary to pay the delinquent dues and then the club will be added to the bottom of the rotation list for hosting a Federation Dance and remain in that sequence.

By-Laws 4

ADDENDUM A TO THE CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS SOUTH CAROLINA SQUARE AND ROUND DANCE FEDERATION PLANNING HOW TO HOST A FEDERATION DANCE During the last Federation dance of the year, the Federation will announce the clubs scheduled to host the next two years Federation Dances as listed on the roster and receive their confirmation. They will receive a copy of this addendum at that time. The Officers of the Federation and the Callers Association will meet the host club immediately after the Executive Board meeting, if they wish, to answer any questions or conflicts the club may have. A club does not have to host a Federation dance when their name works to the top of the roster. They may cancel, allowing the club next in line to host the dance, or they may co-host with another willing club on the roster or as designated by the Chairman. At the Federation dance prior to the host club dance, the Federation Representative of the host club will be called upon during the Federation Executive Board meeting to announce the dance and answer any questions (such as places to eat and sleep, etc.). The host club has to have equal to USDA insurance to host a Federation dance. If you are covered by the Federation USDA policy, provide the Federation Insurance Chairman with a request for coverage at your new dance location. This should be done approximately 45 days prior to the dance. If your hall requests a Certificate of Coverage, allow a minimum of 45 days for this certificate to be provided. BUILDING The building must have adequate dance space, bathroom facilities, water fountains or coolers and designated areas for meeting as shown in Recommended Schedule of Activities. There should be three areas assigned for meetings. Room A should accommodate up to 12 people, Room B up to 26 people and Room C to be used as the main dance floor, with chairs provided. The host club will display posters to designate these rooms. Clubs hosting dances during the months of April through October when cooling is necessary, will provide a building that is comfortably air conditioned or cooled. Appropriate posters should be displayed on street corners to help locate and provide directions to the dance building, especially if sundown will occur prior to the dance. Should your building have two rooms adequate for dancing, this is accepted. Both rooms may be programmed with Mainstream, one with Round and one with Plus tips, (the second hall may be Plus, with the agreement of the South Carolina Callers Association). Addendum A 1

DANCE FEE Ribbons or tickets are not necessary for this dance and advanced sales are not made. All donations are collected at the door. Arrangements for this should be set up by 12:00 p.m. by the host club. Dancers come and go; therefore, a method should be set up to keep track of those who have paid. Usually this is a special small sticker that can be attached to the badge or a small token that can be pinned to a shirt or blouse. The donations per dancer for the Federation dance will be a fee agreed to by the host club and the Federation Chairman. All proceeds go to the host club to defray their expenses for hosting the dance. The SC Square and Round Dance Federation will donate $150 to the hosting club to help with expenses. The word donation is to be used on the flyer and at your sign-in table when discussing fees. The host club is a non-profit organization and is receiving this fee as a donation. Members of the South Carolina Callers Association and their spouses will be admitted free to all Federation dances, with the exception of the South Carolina Square and Round Dance Convention. Federation Officers, the Chairman s Committee and all other dancers will be admitted at a fee agreed to by the host club, with the exception of the South Carolina Square and Round Dance Convention. There should no charge for those attending the afternoon Committee meetings. It is suggested that a yellow ribbon (1 inch wide) be provided for the solo dancers. Section 4: DANCE PROGRAM The Host Caller/Cuer or any Caller/Cuer programmed to call or cue at any Federation Dance (including the South Carolina Square and Round Dance Convention) must be in good standing with the SCCA or be specifically invited to call or cue by the President of the SCCA. If the club Caller/Cuer of the host club is not a member of the SCCA, the President of the SCCA shall act as Host Caller/Cuer but may invite the Club Caller/Cuer to call/cue a tip at the Federation Dance. The Federation Dance held between 7:30 10:30 p.m. will be programmed by the South Carolina Callers Association. The afternoon dance will be held from 12:30 2:30 p.m. and will include squares, rounds, lines and announced plus, if the appropriate personnel are present.

(Check with the building management) Section 6: ADVERTISING The standard Federation flyer will be used to advertise the dance. The flyer will be identified by the SC logo with SC Square and Round Federation Dance. A sample copy is included with this addendum. The front of the flyer will display the host club, host caller, host round dance cuer, the host line dance leader, dance location, date and donation for the dance. The reverse side of the flyer should have a map showing how to get to the dance. A list of available motels and restaurants in the immediate area should be made under the map. The flyer has to be printed on 20-pound paper for insertion in the Carolina Caller. Use an eyecatching color of paper. A recommended minimum quantity of flyers to be printed is 750, with printing on both sides. It is recommended that the flyer for your Federation Dance be included in the issue of the Carolina Caller for that month. It will be necessary to provide 400 (contact the Carolina Caller for the exact amount) for insertion prior to the first of the month preceding your dance. The insertion cost is printed on the last page of the Carolina Caller. Provide flyers to various callers and dancers at the Federation Dance just prior to yours for distribution at various halls. The better the distribution, the better the attendance. Addendum A 3
