1. Donations: Firstly, we would like to thank all our dancers in the Thursday night class who donated "loose change" to the Victorian Bush Fire Appeal, despite many of you having already made private donations. We are pleased to advise that together we raised $70 which has been deposited at the Post Office ($60) & the ANZ Bank ($10). Every little bit counts!!
