Aug. 23: Dancers will perform both routines at the Michael Day Benefit at 7:00 pm at Meadow Lanes Bowling Alley.

Please bring a water bottle for quick drink breaks.
For the performance, dancers should wear a colorful shirt, black shorts or pants, and tennis shoes- as they will be dancing on the grass outside at the event.

The Michael Day Benefit: Each year the money raised is donated directly to the Muscular Dystrophy Association (www.mda.org), Parent Project MD (www.parentprojectmd.org) and used for local organizations and persons on behalf of the Michael Day Benefit.
