| Message to all FCDA families: Our big fundraising event – the Father/Daughter Dance – is here! This event continues to be a huge fundraising success for FCDA and we will be looking to everyone to contribute in one way or another! For our new dancers and parents, it's a great way to get to know more of the other dancers and parents as there is much to do and great opportunity to help. Once again we will be holding the dance in the HOTVY's Endries gym which has a capacity of 466 people. Last year's event filled the gym to max! This year 25% of our profits will go to benefit our Strong Kids obligation; the remaining 75% will be divided among the dancers' account who donate their time and/or money. Click here to learn how more kids and families in our community can share the YMCA experience through Strong Kids. Our theme this year is Winter Wonderland. Our bulletin board is already decorated and flyers are available to take. We will have the themed baskets again for raffle; a list of those themes are listed below. Below are charts for items needed and volunteer times. Any way you can help will great benefit and add to the success of this fundraiser! It's only with your involvement can we make this work. We are asking all FCDA dancers to cut out and decorate snowflakes, large, medium and small. These will be used to add the names of each of our guests. The snowflakes will be hung at the gym to decorations and our guests can find their name and take home their snowflake at the end of the night. Contact Connie S. or Tammy M. if you want to help make the snowflakes and/or add the children's names. FCDA is such a great family! Everyone always steps up to the plate. We thank you and that's what makes the event a success, but that's why FCDA is also successful! Any questions, feel free to contact Connie S. or Tammy M. or any of the other fundraising committee members. Thank you again for your time, talents and donations!
