DYW Tri-city Fundraising Dance!

We are super excited for this fundraising event! It's coming FAST, so let's spread the word like wild fire!! I would suggest that you girls who are participating go to your principals or counselors and let them know what we're doing and have the student body make announcements as much as they can! Drive kids to the event page on FB or mass text everyone you know!!
I sent out an email about home made, individually wrapped treats, being there to help, etc. but there still seems to be some confusion about the itinerary for the night and some details. So, here is a summary of that info:
1- Each girl needs to attend this event!! Please call me if this is an issue.
2- Each girl needs to bring a home made, individually wrapped treat to sell.
3-Each of you will be participating and helping throughout the night.
4-We will be selling raffle tickets for some awesome prizes. Let your friends know.
5-Those of you who would like to perform your talents at the dance are encouraged to do so!! You don't need your song/track to be cut for this performance. This is to help you prepare your talent and perform it in front of peers! It will also be a great preview of the program and help us get the word out about that as well!
6-We will have a kissing booth set up for girls who want to participate. Please bring a bright colored lip stick to wear if you'd like to help with the booth. You would be kissing the person on the cheek, and we want to be able to see it!
7-We will also have "Secret Stars" that we will sell for $1. These will be song dedications or special messages that people can share during the dance. Our DJ will help us out with this as well.
8-Last, but not least, we had to change the date of head shot pics (as mentioned in my email). WE WILL BE TAKING HEAD SHOT PHOTOS AT NOAH'S PRIOR TO THE DANCE AT 5:30PM.  We are trying to get shirts made for you girls to wear to the dance so you stand out. The "starry starry night theme" is referring to you girls, as our "stars"! We want you to stand out!

Our goal for this fundraiser is to get $1000!  The more people we get there, the more scholarship money you have the chance to receive! There are MANY people who have donated, and given a LOT of time to this fundraiser, so let's all do our part to make it a HUGE success! Let's have people talking about this dance for weeks! :)

Utah Jive DJ, Seth Holdaway, will be our DJ. He is SO phenomenal and you will love his personality! He is excited to be supporting you girls and is donating his time to this as well! We are very lucky to have him! Make sure you thank him, please. :)

OK, I don't think I missed anything...I'll email you all if I did!
Please email, call or text me ASAP to let you know you saw this post and let me know you understand that you need to be there and what is expected.

You are all awesome!!! Let's raise some MONEY! :)
