Street Dance a Success!
July 2nd, 2002 |
On Saturday June 22nd, we held our Street Dance and Barbeque Dinner to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Altona West Community Association. Several hundred residents showed up with their families over the course of the evening.
Food was prepared and served by volunteers from within our community and members of the AWCA Executive. Musical entertainment was provided by Rick Johnson's County Band and Mister D.J.
The evening was planned and organized by a sub committee created from three members of the AWCA executive and three volunteers from the community. This group met a number of times since March to arrange this evening for our community to enjoy. Thank you for all of your efforts and hard work.
