Shimmy-A-Thon
Shimmy-A-Thon Lost a car lock clicker? We found one this evening on the registration table while we were cleaning. Please see Kira to collect. Alternate announcement, we have a really, really big door prize . . . just kidding. Seriously, if you lost your car key lock fob, see Kira tomorrow and describe. - Sapphire
Shimmy-A-Thon Hi guys, Thank you to all who volunteered for and/or attended this first day. Remember we have day 2 tomorrow with 2 classes, Natalie Brown and Eric Peterson (Drums), also there is the shimmy contest. Several people today had problems with construction traffic on many of the highways so please check the GA DoT website and plan accordingly. The first class starts tomorrow at 12:30 - -Sapphire
Shimmy-A-Thon Just realized my last several messages to this page list me as shimmy-a-thon and do not say who I am. If you would like to volunteer, please check in with me when you get there. This is Sapphire.

I have heard from many regarding volunteering and I have been in touch with you regarding it. If you have not been able to let me know, please feel to come when you can make it. If there is something to do then I will let you know. We do currently have a need for Sunday all day.
Attached is a parking pass please print it and put it on your dash so that you are not ticketed. This goes for everyone attending.
Shimmy-A-Thon We are just 2 days till SaT!!! I am still amazed at the number of people who have not heard about the fun and educational classes available at a really reasonable price this weekend. Please help us spread the word. Tell folks in your classes. great classes, great price, supporting a great cause :-)
Shimmy-A-Thon Shimmy-a-Thon is just around the corner, so be sure to get out those final fund raising efforts, make sure to buy and sell tickets to the show, and let me know if you are willing to help in any way throughout the weekend. We have a number of volunteer positions that need filling. Thanks - sapphire
