Free Classes with Donations for Food Bank a Success!

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

The free bellydance classes this week were a great success! A lot of familiar faces from the last session of classes showed up, and many new dancers came to try out class, too. 

Through everyone's donations, I have 6 re-usable shopping bags packed full of rice, beans, granola bars and more for the Kelowna Community Food Bank. I also have a Costco-sized pack of toilet paper to drop off!

Thanks to everyone who came to the classes and brought their donations and shimmied with us.
