So, as many of you know this weekend was our big dance at the Native Friendship Centre in Midland. First of all, I want to say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! To all friends, family, and supporters alike that came out Friday night, bought tickets and supported Marie in her recovery in any- and every way. We are so appreciative of everything! Specifically I want to say thank you to the Newburn Family, you guys have been great throughout this all and the work you guys did to put this dance together was nothing short of amazing! Thank you to all those who donated prizes and placed their bids for the silent auction. Between the hammers to the autographed hockey sticks, saying thank you now will never do justice to the gratitude we truly feel. To those on the stage, behind the bar and behind the scenes, those setting up and cleaning up, thank you for making everything come together so well allowing us all to have such a great night! All in all the night was a complete success and once more, to everyone, THANK YOU!
In talking to a family friend, Jason I was mentioning how truly awesome the community has been to Marie and our family (thank you all!!!). The dance was an enormously positive experience and everyone's support has been overwhelmingly heart-warming.
In our chat, Jason mentioned another perspective to me... about how awesome it is that Marie can bring a community together. So true too, Jason :)
Thanks to Marie's community of fantasitc friends and family, the event seemed seamless, and was a great time too! We're greatful to have been able to celebrate with all of you!
For those of you who were unable to attend but sent your warm wishes and support, thank you too! It means a tremendous amount as well to Marie and our family.
Take care & lots of love,
Laura
PS) Marie is going to be spending a week with her Mom in Penetang for recovery after her surgery.
