A huge ‘Thank You’ goes out to Kevin & Donna Harding for organizing this hospital fundraiser. Not only was the dancing fun but the silent auction was terrific. Another huge thank you goes out to all of the aides that came to help as well as several people pitched in when needed. Zuhrah couldn’t do it without any of you. Several hundred dollars was made for the hospital. Give your- selves a big round of applause. Dancing the Night Away Rocking around the Clock Oh,What a Night!
