WOW. We knew the dance was going to be good, but NO-ONE expect this! it was HUGE! We had as many people as we had at the Regional Meetup with Christabel and the Jons last December! (Speaking of which, she's coming back In July. Just sayin.) And yet the dance floor wasn't horribly crowded.

so... everyone came.... :-)

So, yeah. Attendance is incredible tonight. Go us. And when I say 'incredible', I mean EVERYONE. CAME.

HSDS dance for Relay for Life

The Relay for Life is a life-changing event that helps communities across the globe celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. It also helps raise funds for the American Cancer Society to help find a cure for cancer.
