One Million Thanks...

2012-02-01T09:12:00.000-08:00

One Million Thanks to all of the dancers, martial artists, parents, friends, family, vendors, and volunteers who participated in any way, shape or form in this year's Winter Benefit. It was a great chance for the kids to practice performing and to use their gifts and talents for a great cause. We are able to raise a good amount of money to donate to Ginny's Pantry. It was just in time too because when I went there to drop off the cash donation she showed me the bare racks in the pantry and was so grateful for the contribution. You done good people and thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Winter Benefit Postponed

2011-11-17T10:09:00.000-08:00

Hello Dance Parents,
Let me begin by saying thank you to any of you who have already shown interest in the Winter Benefit. Unfortunately, there are so few children signed up to participate that we are going to have to postpone it. I also just received a call from the guy who was volunteering to do the music that he too has a family issue that will prevent him from being available on that date. I understand this due to the Holiday season, conflicting schedules with other activities and some parents just forgot that it was happening and scheduled other activities for that day. The new date will be SUNDAY, JANUARY 29, 2012 at the Boys and Girls Club in Leominster. The new date gives more parents time to save the date, gives the instructors more students to work with per routine, and is after the holidays but right before we begin learning our routines for the end of the year recital. It just feels like an all around better plan.

As usual with the benefit there will be no costumes, we will discuss color themes in class and the students will be able to pull from their already existing wardrobe. Tickets are only $5 per person and the performing students do not have to pay. If your child, whether they are a student here or not, would like to participate with either a song or play an instrument I would like to have their information as well so that I can include them in the program. I hope that this all makes sense. If your child is interested please have them return the participation form or send me an email at this address so that I can add them to the list!

There will be also be $1 face-painting, $1 activity stations for the kids, snacks, hot cocoa and other drinks on sale and a few local start up vendors who will be contributing a portion of the proceeds of their sales at the event to the benefit. If you are a vendor of jewelry, crafts, etc, please let me know if you are also interested in having a table set up. There are no set-up costs as long as you contribute a portion of the proceeds to the benefit. After hitting send I will also be creating an event on facebook for this day. This is an amazing opportunity for our little ones to learn the valuable lesson of giving back and to practice being on a stage before the big show. I would love it if everyone could participate but understand that that is not realistic. If you can, please please do so! Thank you in advance.

After the Winter Benefit we raised over $400 and collected over 200 food items for Ginny's Pantry. Once we dropped off the food she informed us that donations for once needed baby clothes and blankets were fulfilled and that what was really needed was meats for the family baskets. I am so happy to announce that we were able to purchase meats to fill her deep freezers and help over 100 families in the area with meals, not just for the holidays, but for the winter. None of this would have been possible without you all. Thank you for remembering and being part of the 'reason for the season' and for being a reminder of the true definition of community.
I CELEBRATE YOU!!!

When we dropped the food off at Ginny's Pantry she was so excited by the size of the donation. I will be joyfully skipping about Walmart tomorrow to buy the other things that they asked for to help families in need during this holiday season. Thank you so much to Marktavian Martin for the poetry reading, to Wayne Gilbert for being my loving and trusted music man, and Sterling First Church for providing the venue.
