We are having a blast!! The Stardusters dance was well attended and compliments flew from all who attended. After the dance, members of the band told me how much fun THEY had watching us dance. They said it made them feel so good knowing we were having such a good time.

You know, videos and articles are flying round the Internet about the importance of ballroom dancing for PTSD as well as Alzheimer's. Speaking of Alzheimer's, our fundraiser is going great. Right now we really need ticket sales . If every member could buy 1 ticket we'd be at our goal for this dance.

If you cannot attend, please consider making a tax deductible donation.The Stardusters are contributing their time for this event and local businesses have donated all of the food and silent auction items

Speaking of support, Charlene has been filming TV interviews bringing awareness to this fundraiser. Here is the schedule:

Wednesday June 13 between 4 and 7, Channel 10 with Christel Bell
