STARS
Students Raise Money for Portable Dance Floor
Standing in front of the Soo Theatre on Friday,
March 14, STARS dance students (above) try to get the attention of
Ashmun Street travelers to publicize their campaign to raise
money for a portable dance floor.
To date the students have received $800 in donations toward the
estimated cost of $5000. STARS dance students' Annual Revue at
the LSSU Performing Arts Center takes place in mid-May, and the
girls hope to be able to purchase the portable floor in time for
that event.
"The portable dance floor will provide a safer surface for
the students to perform on," said STARS dance instructor,
Dianna George. "Neither stage surface at LSSU or in the Soo
Theatre was specifically built as a dance surface," she
explained.
If you'd like to contribute to this project, you can stop in at
534 Ashmun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. or send a
check to the Soo Theatre Project denoting "dance
floor" in the memo space.

Bake
Sale at the Soo Co-op Credit Union
Of their latest fundraising efforts, the students
write:
We raised $360.00
at our fundraiser for our portable floor at the bake sale at the
Soo Co-op Credit Union on Good Friday. We appreciate all the
participation from SCCU for hosting the bake sale and our
community for being so generous on their donation.
Thanks!"
