MAN OH MAN! Monday was probably one of the funnest fundraisers I have been to.
It began with “Bouncing for bucks” at 5:00pm and lasted until 10:30. Then there was the “INTERMINGLE” dance at the Santa Clara Teen Center from. Not to mention the Sweet Tomatoes and Yogurt Works fundraisers in between.

BOUNCING FOR BUCKS:
This was our very first event at Sky high, and I’m quite thrilled that it went well.
I got there at 4 and stayed till about 8:30, and I’d say an estimated 150-ish people came to bounce around.
Be sure to look out for this event next year.
:]

INTERMINGLE:
WAS AMAZINGLY FUN.
We made an estimated $1700 with an attendance of over 400 people.
Although it was really crowed, hot, and sweaty, it was still pretty fun.
We even managed to impress key clubbers.
Missed out last night?
HAVE NO FEAR!
There will be an area 6 and 8 dance coming in January.
It will be BIGGER, COOLER, and more AWESOME.
Cause our area rep doesn’t want to lose to Area 11.

Your Co-President,
Carolyn Dao.
:]

ATTENTION SC TALENT

DO YOU HAVE TALENT?
