MAY:

In May we had a blast with all of our classes in Barre & Northfield. Working on new exciting summer routines has really been fresh and flavorful!

May 23rd brought a FULL day of our group spending time together. We really all had a great time.

At 7:30 in the morning a group of us met in Randolph for our annual carwash fundraiser. With out these events this group could not afford to stay "donation only" for performances and lessons. This web site costs money as well as outfits, travel, our workshop, google fees, business cards, brochures, ..just so many things we need to remain professional and successful.

Even though it was prinkling and a little chilly ...the carwash was a success, and funds raised were in the same vicinity as years prior. This gives us hope that folks out there are still supportive to our nonprofit organization and enjoy having us around!

Our car wash ran from 8-1. I want to thank Bailey, Chad, Jacob, Cora, Bob,&  Lydia for their outstanding help in making this event a success.

I am waiting for more awesome photos e-mailed to me from my mother to post. More will follow. Please view them in our photo gallery under "Fundraisers"

I want to thank everyone involved that made it a success!

After the car wash we came to Williamstown to my home and had a Memorial Day picnic together. More members came just to have this time together. The rain held off just so we could have a great time together. Jay was our spongebob Jay pants, and did the grilling of all the crabbie patties, and kelp hot dogs! LOL  He did a great job ( except for the first batch that he FORGOT on the grill, which were perfectly accepted by our dogs)  Hee Hee!!

( is that a burger in my mouth?)

We had Potato salad, macaroni salad, coleslaw, grilled zuchinni, and squash, sauteed mushrooms, and all the toppings you can think of for a hot dog and our burgers! Chips, cottage cheese, fresh veggies, choc. chip cookies were all enjoyed by everyone.  I want to thank everyone for attending!!  I hope this might become an annual event together!

After that wonderful picnic another group of us headed down to Williamstown to perform as a part of their Memorial Day entertainment. We were excited to perform so close to our neighbors!  We had a blast entertaining, the crowd was really awesome and enthusiastic! We hope to be invited back again next year. I think i will move the car wash to that Sunday instead in Randolph next year and perform earlier in the day !

THANK YOU to :  ( left to right ) Jacob, Cora, Me, Brean (in the back hidden behind), Tira, Robin.

 On May 30th we were honoured to be requested to perform in Joni's School of Dance annual recital that was held at the Spaulding High School aud.

We only met for two classes to get our routine in order. It was easy steps and we enjoyed the music. Of course we added our normal formations and special effect..lol. We really had a blast working  with them all.  The routine is posted in our video gallery in two pieces being the camera shut off then we had to restart it again to catch the ending! Hope you enjoy!

That finished out our month of May.

On June 6th we held our second annual Barre bake sale fundraiser at the same location we did last year. We had brochures and business cards displayed, our photo board, and vest and shoes, as well as our group banner. We had items for sale that were freshly made by all of our very own members. Everything from Brownies, to variations of rice crispie treats, various mini muffins, bananna bread, various cookies, and tons more. We also sold water, diet soda and regular soda as well. We also had various videos playing non stop on our lap top during the whole bake sale.

Thank you to everyone who helped donate items to sell as well as those who came and donated their time during the bake sale! Brean, Cora, Brittany, Lydia, Holly, Tammy, & Baliey...( me too)

THANK YOU EVERYONE!

The very next day June 7th, a group of us got back together to perform for the first time, at the VT Dairy Festival in Enosburg. It was such a great performance. We are delighted they are looking to have us back again next year.

The dancers did a great job setting up our sound system, photo board, banner, brochures and business cards, and displaying our shoes.

This was Maureen and Stephanie's second performance with us and they did awesome!! Here we are introducing them and giving them the BIG applause they deserve!

The crowd was great, the weather was perfect, and our performers did a fantastic job!

Thanks to: Cora, Jacob, Justin, Stephanie, Maureen ( and me ) .

For the rest of June, July, August and September we have decided to pack the two studio locations together at our Northfield studio to build a better bond between members, and work together at a faster pace for summer routines. I am excited to have everyone at one location till the fall months!

We will have classes June 14th & 21st. NO CLASSES June 28th. I am out of town.

The last event in June is our Barre carwash fundraiser.

This was held in South Barre last year.

This year it is being moved to Berlin on the Barre/Montpelier road across from Yipes Stripes on JUNE 27th 2009 from 7:30 AM-1: PM. 

Cora and Tira are in charge of this event.

 We need all the members we can get. Holding signs,. parking cars, washing cars, IS an exhausting job.

ANY help is great help. Please see what you can do about participating as we anticipate a large amount of traffic!  IF it is raining HARD we will cancell and re-schedule. The call will be Cora and Tira's to make. 

If it is raining PLEASE contact them BEFORE attending the event to confirm.  Get ahold of ME if you are attending and I will in turn give you their contact information!

UPDATE: The car was in Barre was a success with tons of help from Kyleigh and her mom Berniece and there family, Tira and her family, Cora and her sons, and friend Doc, as well as Stephanie and her mom and brother. They all did a FANTASTIC job in my absence. I am very proud of them all.

That is the news for May and June 2009. Please check back again for photos from our carwash in our gallery.
