St., in Las Vegas, NV, 89101. They are offering a 4 Day Package Deal

As you'll remember, a couple of
days ago I made the suggestion Chicago style steppers should do
something relevant in response to the earthquake disaster in Haiti.
I've had several conversations both in person and via email with a
few people on the subject.
I'm going to give credit where credit is due for what I think is a
great idea that was floated by Patrick and Rose Moore of the Smooth
Steppers of Memphis. The Smooth Steppers of Memphis is challenging
each stepping organization around the country to donate a $100.00 to
support the Haiti relief fund.
In a meeting last night with Monique Salter of Step and Think Pink BCA Organization the subject came up and she was immediately onboard
and met the challenge the Smooth Steppers of Memphis issued by
stating that her organization will make a $100 donation and issues
the same challenge to the other organizations within the Chicago
style steppers community.
When asked about what legitimate
organization we should make donations to I suggested the International
Red Cross.
I also suggested each steppers organization in every one the cities in
the country should talk to each other about coming together and hold a
very public fundraising steppers event. Not only is it the right thing
to do, but it can give the public a little glimpse into the kind of
people who are Chicago style steppers.
Inviting a representative from the Red Cross to each of the affairs to
publically hand over the proceeds should give the whole process the
necessary transparency to allay any fears of scams in any form.
In Chicago there are around 70 steppers organizations and there are
around 130 steppers organizations in other cities throughout the United
States. Wouldn't it be great if we could get donations nationally
over $100,000.00? Imagine that; Chicago
style steppers making an impact in a big way! There you have it a
$100,000 National Challenge.
The challenge is out there, the benefit of making a difference is
obvious and the resulting feeling of contributing to an urgent cause is
priceless.
