$15, 910.00
for cancer research!!!!
Thanks to all my friends and fellow dancers for helping me to make this possible.
There are so many to thank and I don't want to forget anyone, so I will say a huge thank you to everyone (you know who you are) and to all my local ladies for their contributions to the decoration of the hall, the gathering of gifts for the penny sale table and raffle, and a special thanks to Colette Proulx, my main artist who created those beautiful hats that adorned the stage wall. Great job done Colette!

my fantastic DJ - Lynn Warden from Niagara Falls...
The workshop would not have been such a success without it's one and only LYNN WARDEN , DJ Extraordinaire....... Thank you Lynn for donating your time, travel and expertise!
You always had people on the floor dancing and with an excellent balance between country - non-country and beginner - intermediate etc.
See you here next year as Lynn has graciously agreed to be my DJ in 2008 again!
My daughter Dione usually handles the door and everything else regarding money, sales, registrations and anything else at the actual event with the help of a couple of my dancers on opening night ,
... but this year she could not attend as she had just given birth to my precious grand-daughter Parise (see from link on main page)...
So my other daughter Crystal (below) took over her place. Crystal is the youngest of our 6 kids and a recent graduate in Business Management from Georgian College in Barrie.
This workshop was a complete "jump-in-and-take-over-cold-turkey-with-no-training-thing" for her. lol ....
All she had to say is "Dione - you're not allowed to have any more babies.... especially around workshop time!"
You did a great job Crystal and everyone enjoyed meeting you!! Thanks from the bottom of my heart, I couldn't have done it without your help! I am so fortunate to have my daughters help me out this way, love you both!

My husband Bill (yes I wrote the dance "His Name is Bill" for my husband and we actually did meet on a Monday)!!
This year we were allowed to sell water to aid in our fundraising and my husband volunteered for the first time to take on this task. You did a great job Bill and thanks from the bottom of my heart, I couldn't have done it alone and everyone was finally able to meet my "phantom" husband! (note: my husband does not linedance) lol

Here I am enjoying my Timmies coffee and displaying the hand-made rocking motorcycle that my husband Bill made and donated to our workshop for the 2nd year. Also showing the cross stitch picture donated by one of my ladies Jeannine and the third raffle prize was a man's coat donated by Diane and Don Pilon. Thanks to everyone who helped make this such a success again this year!
We also had a successful Penny Table again this year thanks to Pete Lefebvre and her helpers. Thanks so much for your hard work on Saturday!!!
