On March 9th I will participate with 7 other local community leaders in the “Dancing Like the Stars” event to benefit the Susan G Komen Maine Foundation.

The event features novices (like me!) paired with experienced dance instructors from the Back door Dance Studio in Eddington, Maine. We will perform several routines which we have been practicing for only about eight weeks. There will be a panel of three judges who will critique the routines but, the real votes come from you in the community and those who attend the event. Every dollar contributed to each team counts as a vote!! The highest fundraiser is the considered the winner of the competition (if you see me dance you will understand why I was so relieved that it wasn’t just about style). You all know I am a competitor so I need your help. Please click the link on this pge which will allow you to donate on line.

This is a lot of fun and no matter who comes in first on March 9th, the key is that we are all going to win by helping Komen Maine in the fight to eradicate breast cancer. 75% of the funds go to support services here in Maine and 25% are dedicated to research work on better understanding and treating this terrible disease.

I’ll do the dancing and you do the giving. THANKS
