Good morning everyone,

Join me for an hour of world dance benefiting Susan Komen Workout For The Cure at Tysons Sport & Health on Saturday February 2nd, 2008 @ 10am.

Please spread the word and let your friends know about this event so we can help out as much as possible. Let me know if you and/or a friend is coming so I can sign up your name. Guests can come for free and they will also get a week pass to Sport & Health with their pledge.
