While many of us were enjoying the free dance at AIDC (thanks ASEDA!), a few of our friends were representing our swing dance community well by reaching out to help a good cause in our larger community through Swingin' From the Heart. Our friends danced for a fundraiser for Breakthru House, a transitional program for women recovering from alcoholism and drug addiction.

In the words of our contact at Breakthru House:

"Thanks soooo much for coming out! It was a great event and you guys really got the crowd into it! We are not sure what the final count is but we already know we went way above our initial goal! Thanks again and if we have another event like this I'll definitely invite you guys out!"

Thanks Gina, Peter, Stacy, John, and Christine!
