Girl Scouts and Cast of the First Annual Event
Happy November Everyone! In this age of blogging, I thought it was time to try my hand at it. My main goal will be to share important events, interesting weather information, and other tidbits that come along, which you may enjoy. Now, the only question is where to start?
I know! Last Thursday evening, an exciting event took place at the Wealthy Theatre, on behalf of the Girl Scouts, called “That’s Entertainment!”! It was the first time an event such as this has taken place in West Michigan, but from the result, it certainly won’t be the last. Through this combined network event, thousands of dollars were raised for the Girl Scouts of Michigan Shore to Shore, and, as a bonus, local media personalities got to show off their talents!
The evening was a jam-packed full of dancing, singing, laughing and tons of fun. Brian Sterling, Dee Morrison, and I, along with others, took part in an opening dance, choreographed to “All that Jazz”, from the musical Chicago…complete with a top-hat! After a stunning finale, the individual acts took off. They included juggling, lip syncing, and even a rap number! Brian Sterling had the entire theatre smiling from ear to ear with his comics. To make it even better, Terri DeBoer gave him a glowing introduction and then showed off with a little baton twirling (she is really good). While manning the flip cam, I prepared for my turn on stage. Hula Dancing, how about that for a talent? Surprised? Yeah, so was I. As a last minute fill-in, I learned the short dance in about 30 minutes. Not perfect, but tons of fun, and definitely a great leg workout!
The night finished with the song “This One’s for the Girls”, an amazingly fitting way to end a fabulous night.
Big thanks go out to all who made it possible; everything from booking the theatre, arranging the food, tickets, talent, choreographers….Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. It is so true that hard work does pay off. Now I’m thinking, “Can’t wait till next year.” Better yet, I think I already have my talent picked…but I’m not telling:-)
Sad that I couldn’t make it to the “that’s entertainment” show this year. I will plan on coming next year though!
HULA Dancing I would like to see that,HAHAHA. That’s pretty cool though, helping out a charity is always good fun no matter what your doing:) Even though you may be scared at first to go on stage, when its all over you can say to yourself I help out today!
I hope you left there that night feeling great. I know that when I help out I feel re-freshed and alive.
WHAT A GREAT PLACE TO SPONSOR GIRL SCOUTS OF AMERICA
Laura where are you in this picture. I can not see you, help:}
Laura nice job!!!! How about some waether bloging??? We are a nice group to get a long with right Bill!
Laura I JUST read an atricle about the Glaciers disappearing from atop Mount Kilimanjaro. I wonder what you think is the cause. Many people think its Global Warming plus the lack of snowfall at the summit.I would like to know what the temp of the earth in that area was in say 1800-1900-2000-today.
If what they say is true then in about one hundred years or so the Earth as we know it will change to the Extreme!!!!!!!!!
Laura let me know what you think of the matter. Thanks BT:)
Wow, I was there and you were a great performer. It is amazing that so many of the local celebrities gave of their time and raised so much money for a great cause. We were so proud of you, our daughter to be there as you performed. Great job “for the girls.”
