It has been a wild ride but we had so much fun! We thank all who supported us this year! It was so fun to have a full house every night and to have all the trees and wreaths find their new homes. We thank all who volunteered and donated their time, their talents, all crafts, and sweets. It is all of you who made our fundraiser a success! More details on the success of our event to come. We love you and can’t wait to see you all again next year!

A big huge THANK YOU to all those who performed last night at our event. You guys rocked it! ’sPianoStudents
