Thanks to all who helped

A special THANK YOU to all the dancers and their friends and the parents that helped at the Cub Food fundraiser in Arden Hills. 
We had a great time.  It was a lot of work for the dancers, especially those who put in longer shifts-Mosolowa, Megan and Mosope-who just joined our group of dancers;Hayley- who has now completed two fundraisers before she even joined; Fortune and Michelle; also our evening group of Kimberly, Lily, Maddie and Allana.  Ariel, Rachel, Willaya, Haley,Juliana, Eden and Makendra - also helped in the morning.  While Darcy, Annie and Kailey helped fill out our evening group.

 We can not forget the parents.  Without your support we could not have transported the girls to and from Cub Foods in Arden Hills.  Also those who stayed to chaperon the dancers as they worked to help support the team-Millie and Harvey, Susan and Mike, Janet, Vicky and Coach Brittany.  If I forgot someone- I apologize.  Please let me know so I can rectify the error.  (I am terrible with names-forgive me).

We raised about $1000000817.00  Yes that is correct! Over a Trillion Dollars.  We Found a Trillion dollar bill in our bucket.  I will try to add a photo of our bill as soon as I a figure out how to upload the picture.

We received Tons of compliments about our Dancers.  That is a Tribute to all of our Parents of the Dancers.  We raised the girls to be RESPECTFUL, HARDWORKING AND DEDICATED. 
To the dancers, when we kept you standing or asked you to stay off the salt, or broke up your conversations it was for a good reason,  People-shoppers and store personnel were watching you.  They were judging you-whether you were worthy of their hard earned cash.  Just like a dance where they judge you by the height of your kicks or the smiles on your faces - the shoppers in the store determine the amount of the donation by your behaviour.
We met people associated with other dance teams.  Mothers of coaches, grandparents of dancers, brother or cousin of a dancer and parents of a dancer.  They realized the hard work needed to fund the needs of a dance team and donated to support the GROWTH OF OUR DYNASTY- AS STATED BY THE GRANDFATHER OF A CANNON FALLS DANCER.  We were supported by people associated with Moundsview, Cannon Falls, Osceola, Forest Lake and Irondale.  So remember when see a fundraiser being held-remember those who helped to support us.

A SPECIAL THANKS ALSO BELONG TO THE CUB FOOD STORE IN ARDEN HILLS.  JEFF, THE MAN IN CHARGE OF FUNDRAISERS WHO ALSO PROVIDED SNACKS AND DRINKS FOR OUR DANCERS, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO HOLD THE FUNDRAISER AT HIS STORE.  WE CAN'T FORGET THE DELI THAT PROVIDED A HOT PIZZA FOR THE DANCERS TO HELP KEEP UP THEIR ENERGY.  THIS STORE WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO HELP US.  RETURN THE FAVOR AND PATRONIZED THEIR STORE.  IF YOU HAPPEN TO SEE JEFF-BE SURE TO THANK HIM PERSONALLY.  A GREAT BIG THANKS TO CUB FOODS FOR SUPPORTING OUR TEAM.

On a side note.  I must pass on the comments overheard by some Moundsview patrons.  They saw our dancers and commented that we were invading their territory.

Remember the Linders fundraiser

Remember to pass out the coupons for the Linder's Greenhouses for Mother's Day weekend.  I realize that it is hard to think Spring when there are still chances for SNOW in the forecast.  In fact, I have not seen many greenhouses set up yet.
  But         PLEASE HAND OUT THE COUPONS TO YOUR FRIENDS NEIGHBORS AND                COWORKERS. 
This is an easy way to collect funds for the team with minimal effort.

Fundraising at Cub

Thank you to all that participated in the fundraising activity at the Cub on County Rd B and Rice st.  It was very successful.
