Did you hear?

Fellow dancer George Power will donate $5,000 to Tapestry for operational support if we raise another $5,000 by June 30, 2012!

George writes: "my wife and I live a relatively frugal lifestyle. Now, we are able to help some of the places that are important to us."

This is an amazing opportunity for everyone who cares about dancing at Tapestry to make a contribution that will DOUBLE the effect of every dollar you contribute. Think about the possibilities, talk with your family, and rise to George's challenge! Watch the “Sailing into the Future” poster outside the large dance space. We’ll be coloring in blank spots as contributions come in, whether from individual dancers, or from dance groups.

Spring into action now for Tapestry!

If you would like to donate with a credit card, please do so via GiveMN.org:

Checks may be sent to the office.
