Dancing for Amelie – a Great Success!

Thirty four dancers in 26 dances – the stage, the lights, the costumes! We had a wonderful afternoon at the T. Gil Bunch Centre for the Performing Arts, Sunday 16th October. Amelie McLean and her family were able to join us at the theatre where Sheila Warneken made magic happen by organizing the generous donations for the silent auction. I am proud and thankful. Special mention to Julie Vliet, Don Armitage, Edna Widenmaier, Mike Younger and Kathy Paton. We raised $3115.08 at the door and $3330.00 at the silent auction, for a grand total of $6445.08. The Steps Ahead family has truly made a difference. THANK YOU!
