PNB Opening Gala - Saturday September 16th
If you live in the Seattle area, you don't want to miss the PNB Season Opening Gala this Saturday night. You will see the PNBs finest dancers performing excerpts from Swan Lake, La Sonnambula and more. You will also get to see my eldest daughter, Hailey, dancing the Circus Polka along with 47 other litte girls!
They have been rehearsing like crazy for the past two weeks. Today is dress rehearsal at McCaw Hall. Yesterday they received their BACKSTAGE passes!! Can you imagine? They will be dancing with a full orchestra in front of thousands of people tomorrow night! Wowie wow wow!
This is such a thrill for all the children participating.We are grateful to the PNB for creating performance opportunities for the children.
Photographs are not permitted at the PNB school (so sad!) This is a photo of my ballerina from a few years ago... she looks soooo young!
Scleroderma Fundraising Walk - September 24th
As a family and as a business, we support Scleroderma Research.
On Saturday, September 24th, there is a 5K fundraising walk at Seward Park to raise $$ for Scleroderma Research. This is a seriously underfunded cause and would gratefully welcome any support. Team A Muse is trying to raise $200 for this walk. Whatever monies are raised, A Muse will match dollar for dollar! If you are interested in supporting us, please visit our fundraising page.
For any stampers wishing to donate, A Muse will send a fun box of stamping goodies for any size donation. Post here once you have made a donation and I'll make arrangements to send your goodies!
What is Scleroderma?
"Scleroderma, in its severe form, is a life-threatening disease that affects multiple organs in the body and causes them to shut down. It is a chronic and degenerative disorder with no known cause or way to stop its progression. The National Institutes of Health estimates more than 300,000 people in the U.S. alone are living with some form of the disease. This is as large a population as patients with muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cystic fibrosis.
Scleroderma primarily affects women between the ages of 30 and 50."
