    Hi Everyone,

    Since I communicated last we have painted 2 walls, installed new mirrors, and new curtains. Resene has given us a very generous discount on paint and supplies for this project. Instyle Class Ltd supplied the mirrors and Harrisons Curtains and Blinds supplied the curtains. Both also gave a generous discount. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Still lots to do. Next up is painting the new cabinets made by Paul Tottie from Tredsafe Ltd and putting them in place. Then painting the 3rd wall. Please keep those donations coming in. Every little bit helps. Spread the word for me. Cheers, Kerry

    Thanks Guys

    We have enough to make a start on our long journey too upgrading the Aileen Downey Dance Studio. First Working Bee at the studio is Sat 27th June where we will be preparing the studio for painting. Thank you to all the volunteers who have pledged to be there with buckets and scrubbing brushes.

    Next phase will be to put a fresh coat of paint on ceilings and walls. Very exciting. Please keep pledging, we have a long way to go.

  • Wow, Keep it coming

      10 December 2019

    So grateful to all you generous people. We have now raised over $2,000.00 towards the upgrade of the Aileen Downey Dance Studio.

    We also have Architectural Designer Ghada Oliver on board who has offered her services free to draw up plans and perspective drawings. We will also be able to supply very soon an itemised list of costs of each part of this project. Mrs Downey will be smiling. Just love Hamilton's community spirit.
