Emily Barger...our little angel

2008-06-26T06:40:00.000-07:00

The following was posted by Emily's Dad, Brian, yesterday. I have postponed sending this because I needed to speak with Madi first. She is having a tough time but knows that Emily is in heaven and her pain is gone. I will post addresses to send condolences later today.
Please give YOUR angel-on-earth an extra hug today.
Love, Rhonda

June 25, 2008 at 06:07 PM EDT
On Tuesday night at 9:00 heaven got another little angel,, and her name,, Emily Barger.

She fought this horrible disease and the complications from surgery to the very end. It was hard to watch her go, but we know now that her body is once again whole and not hurting any more.

Misty and I want to thank everyone for their support and prayers, and coming together to lift up our little daughter and our family.

In the end, Emily lost her earthly battle, but while doing so help lots of people come together for a common cause, and in that she is and always will be a winner.

We will be receiving friends at Salem Baptist Church in Halls Thursday, from 5 to 8, with services following. Emily will be burried in Madisonville at 3 on Friday. Madisonville and the farm in Sweetwater were the two places where Emily loved to be, so we thought that would be fitting for her final resting place.

For directions to the church you can log onto www.salembaptisthalls.org

This is not the last update there will be at least one more, I'm not sure when that will happen.

Until then..Take Care and God Bless

Kinney Drugs Miracle Dinner

2008-06-17T06:37:00.000-07:00

Photos will be uploaded later but I MUST get this out to everyone.

First, my sincerest thanks to Ashley Adams, Alexandra Davis, Izzy Marsala and Miss Madi for performing "If No One Will Listen" last evening. It was certainly one of the greatest highlights of my career.

Second, I wish you all could have been there. After Goose Gossage spoke, they surprised the 500 plus attendees by having the girls come out in costume. Cindy Bufalini (who, with words alone, made me cry) introduced them.

The crowd grew quiet, the dance began, the girls were In The Zone. End of dance-- pause of silence and then...a ROAR of applause. Everyone jumped to their feet and a LONG standing ovation began. Goose stood up, grabbed Madi and lifted her to his shoulder. The crowd went NUTS and the ovation continued for about three minutes.

GOOSE bumps--- get it?? Ha.

I want to thank Stacy from Kinney Drugs for making this an evening that NONE of the dancers (and especially a glowing Madi) will EVER forget.
For Jocelyn, who makes wishes come true every day, a great hug of thanks...

and to Madi "our miracle" thanks...just for being YOU!

-Rhonda

A Thank You from the Dance Director

2008-06-09T05:36:00.001-07:00

Dear All,

I want to personally thank everyone for a terrific performance at SLU yesterday.

To the Gouverneur dancers:
WOW!! I hope you realize just how much you have accomplished since September. You made me laugh and cry yesterday with your improvement and your talent. I am excited to see what this summer and next season will bring for all of you.

To the Carthage dancers:
As always, you made me soooooooooo proud. Your commitment to me and your fellow company dancers was evident in so many ways-- mostly in the fact that you drove ALL that way for two long days to share your talents. MUAH.

To the parents:
Thank you for sharing your "Little Wonders" with me. Never doubt that no matter the heat, the length of the day or the stress of the costume changes...weekends like the past one are the stuff that dancer's dreams are made of. YOU are incredible for making your child's dreams come true.

Thank you,
Rhonda Foote
Artistic and Dance Director

I wanted to share the following email I received from Emily Barger's Dad--

Rhonda,

Thank you very much for the care package it really
made Emily's day to get something from you and
Madison. The pink dragon was "ordered" to be put on
her bed so she could see it. Unfortunately she has not
been feeling well enough to play with any of the
items.
Also tell eveyone thanks for the cards, Misty read
them to Emily yesterday.

That's all for now, I have to get back to work.
Brian

Emily's updated condition: They had to delay radiation treatment due to her fragile health. They hope to do that today. Emily's tumor has grown 8 inches in one week and has pushed her organs to one side. She is having difficulty breathing and eating and is pain whenever she is awake. For Madi and I, it is so hard to think of Emily this way when, just in March, she was running around Disney and swimming in the pool with Madi...please keep her in you prayers-- Rhonda

BRCS Express The Positive Workshop

2008-04-13T08:51:00.001-07:00

"In The Company of Angels" debuted its Lewis Co. Youth Bureau Grant workshop and assembly "Express The Positive" at Beaver River Central on April 10th and 11th. More than twenty middle school students joined Rhonda in an after school assembly to learn how the arts promote self esteem and confidence and help with making good choices.
The workshop incorporated acting, word association, art, movement and writing. The overall themes were "It's not what you say, it's how you say it" and, of course, "Express the positive".
On Friday, the workshop participants joined company members in an assembly for their peers. They danced, sang, acted, showed artwork, played instruments and threw in some comedy!
Co-Director and workshop instructor Rhonda Foote was pleased with the energy and outlook the students brought to both the workshop and the assembly.
Co-Director Carrie Edick stated, "If even one young person feels better about their interest and involvement in the arts after participating in the workshop or viewing the assembly, we have accomplished something wonderful".

For more information on how you can bring the "Express The Positive" workshop to your school, contact rhonda@inthecoofangels.com or call 315-287-4100.

2008-03-10T11:51:00.000-07:00

Angels Soar To The Top of Competition

A small group of performers from “In The Company of Angels” hit the stage for the Dance Xplosion regional competition in Watertown the weekend of March 8th. They could not have anticipated that the students from studio locations in Carthage and Gouverneur, NY would waltz away with so many honors.
The two day competition was held the weekend of March 8th at the Dulles State Office Building. The auditorium hosted competitors from studios throughout the region. Studio Directors Carrie Edick and Rhonda Foote noted that their choreography, along with that of staff members Stephanie Warnekros, Jessica Jones, and Kierstyn Zaykoski made a fine showing.

The studio was represented by twenty acts. In the Jr. Open solo Xtreme division Rachael Coon performed a modern/vocal solo to “Concrete Angel”. Rachael received a Platinum medal and first place trophy in the category. Justina Davenport received a Platinum medal for her solo, “Wildfire” and Brielle Farley received an Xtreme Gold medal for her solo presentation to “The Way I Are”.

In the Jr. Clog Category solo Xtreme division, KC Edick received a Platinum medal, first place solo and the coveted title of Mr. DanceXplosion for his fast paced version of “Saturday Night”.

In the Jr. Jazz Duet/Trio Xtreme Division Justina Davenport and Julie Peck combined talents in a jazz duet to “Black Cats”. The girls brought home a platinum medal and sixth place trophy overall in the duo/trio division.

The Petite Lyrical Solo Novice Division brought first-time competitor Kaylin Mulberger to the stage for a Gold medal and first place trophy as honors for her solo “Smile”. Kaylin also placed 7th overall in the Petite Solo Novice Division.

Jackie Evans performed “Butterfly Kisses” in the Junior Lyrical solo Novice Division for an Extreme Gold Medal.

In the Petite Acro Solo Novice Division several students did well. Tessa Brenno placed first in her category with an Xtreme Gold medal performance to the classic “ABC”. Tessa also placed second overall in the Petite solo novice division.

Matasha McIntosh received an Xtreme Gold and first place trophy in the same division for her rendition of “Material Girl”.Matasha also won third place overall honors in the Jr. solo novice division.

Julie Peck did a “1-2 Step” in the Xtreme Acro division to take home a Platinum medal.

Little Grace Seybert got an Xtreme gold in the novice division for her lyrical to “Baby Mine” and a Platinum medal and first place trophy for her jazz solo “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You”.

Petite Clogging solo Novice division brought Sarah Coon to the stage performing “Down on the Farm”. Sarah won an Xtreme gold medal and first place trophy in her category as well as sixth place petite solo novice division overall honors.

The Mulberger sisters, Mary and Kaylin took the stage with a hiphop duet to “Summer Love”. They received a gold medal and fifth place in the Jr. Duet/Trio Novice Division.

The Senior Modern Solo Novice Division was represented by Grace Hummel. Grace received a Gold medal for her dance to “Skipping Stones”.

In the Petite Tap Solo Novice Division, Jacqueline Storrin received a Gold medal for her “Big Time” performance.

Jr. Jazz solo by Mary Mulberger to “Stupid Cupid” in the Novice division earned her a Gold medal.

Teen Lyrical solo in the Xtreme Division to “The Real Me” was danced by Maneka McIntosh. Maneka won an Xtreme Gold medal for her performance.

Platinum medals all the way around for seasoned performer Kierstyn Zaykoski. Kierstyn performed a Sr. Lyrical solo to “Answered Prayer” and a modern solo to “Paradise”. She also received platinum honors for her duet with Kaylin Mulberger to the beautiful “You Raise Me Up”. Kierstyn also won overall honors in the Sr. Xtreme Division.

Special Awards were chosen by the judges for a variety of complimentary honors. Students from “In the Company of Angels” received many of these awards. Students receiving the awards were: Jacqueline Evans, Tessa Brenno, Matasha McIntosh, Rachael Coon and Grace Seybert.

The judges also chose performers to attend Nationals this summer as part of the Xtreme Team. Students from “In the Company of Angels” chosen were: Kierstyn Zaykoski, Maneka McIntosh, Grace Seybert, Justina Davenport, Julie Peck, KC Edick and Brielle Farley.

The Directors were thrilled with the results from this debut competition. Carrie Edick noted “this proves that we can bring together performers and choreographers from several locations successfully.” Artistic Director, Rhonda Foote, was most pleased that “while most of the studios competing have been focusing solely on preparation for these competitive events, our performers have been spending the majority of their time on outreach performances to benefit others. Competition results have not been our main focus, but the results are certainly positive and astounding.”

The Directors and company members are looking forward to attending “Access Broadway” competition in Syracuse at the end of the month. Approximately fifty performers will compete in over sixty numbers from the company. They are also beginning preparations for an Americana benefit production to hit the stage this spring.

Tourniquet wins video contest!

2008-02-24T06:16:00.000-08:00

Rhonda Foote, Artistic Director of In The Company of Angels Fine Arts Studio and Outreach Company, was recently notified that she was the grand prize winner in a video contest for dancers on the internet.
Freetodance.net is a nationwide dance community on the world-wide web. The website sponsors an annual video contest for choreographers.
Ms. Foote entered the video of her modern dance piece “Tourniquet” for consideration. She was honored to be chosen as the winner and will receive $200.00 and $100.00 in dance merchandise from Free To Dance. She will also have the story of how “Tourniquet” was choreographed published on the website and her piece will be copyrighted so that other dancers may purchase the rights to perform the piece.

“Tourniquet” was videotaped in 2005. The modern dance piece features the talents of Stephanie Warnekros, Courtney Belloff, Katie Sloan and Kara Emily Nicol. All four dancers studied with Ms. Foote. Local videographer, Kris Marsala, shot the piece in a room in downtown Watertown’s historic Lincoln Building.

The modern dance piece tells the story of four troubled young women who find spirituality and comfort with each other and themselves via the dance. The video can be viewed by logging on to the site www.freetodance.net .

Ms. Foote is Artistic Director and Dance Director for In The Company of Angels with locations in Carthage and Gouverneur, N.Y. The Outreach company presents several productions yearly as benefits for local people in need. For further information, email Ms. Foote at rhonda@inthecoofangels.com or call the studio at 315-287-4100.

There’s one form of communication which is understood internationally and has no language barrier. This form of expression is music. Music can tell a story or give us insight to what is about to happen; it can make us happy or sad, and even make us recollect our thoughts from days gone by. Sometimes when we hear a certain song we can remember the things we were doing when that particular song was popular.

Music has touched the souls of many and even consumed some of us. I have enjoyed listening and performing various types of music for the past 40 years. I received my first electric guitar on Christmas of 1967 while living in the Hudson Valley; form that point on I was enthralled. I became interested in harmonic sounds and bass guitar. During the next five years I performed in the Ichabod Crane High School Choir; Directed by Dr. Johnson and participated in several interstate student exchanges along with a performing at the Lincoln Arts Center. Coupled with performing in choir I spent two of those years performing percussion in the high school band.

I moved to the North Country in 1972 and soon after my high school graduation I enlisted in the US Army. After a long three year obligation, I returned to my roots and played with several bands in Austin, TX. I moved back to the North Country and coordinated the last 1000 Islands Music Festival produced by Arena Productions in Clayton Center. This three day event was to be booked as the second Woodstock. 14,000 people attended the event. I worked with such artists as Blue Oyster Cult, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Chubby Checkers, Duke Williams and The Extremes, The Greg Kin Band, and South Side Johnny. Soon after, I went to work for WOTT and WNCQ filling the airways with the best of pop and country. While working there, in the early part of 1982, myself and other local musicians in the Jefferson County area and formed the band “Lake Effect”. Our band specialized in Classic Rock and some of the newer country and rock that was popular in the early 80’s. The group finished its last job at a Deer Roast on the Number Four Road in the summer of 1984. Other bands in the North Country which I performed with were: Storm Watch, Bonnie and the Late Show, A Taste of Country, and Borderline.

Form 1987 -1990 I operated and managed Hilton Piano in the salmon Run Mall. Many students were instructed in Bass guitar, Guitar, Piano, and Drums.

In 2005 I was awarded an A.A.S from Jefferson Community College in Business. I took every opportunity to fill my free time with classes in music and the arts. While at Jefferson I took an opportunity to see and visit the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. I performed with faculty and staff during several functions each semester for the students and also entertained the children at the day care facility there. Since then I have been attending SUNY Potsdam and will graduate in the spring of 2008. While at Potsdam I have written many original pieces which I have performed at Jefferson Community College.

This area has always been close to my heart and I would like the opportunity to pass on the gift of music to your children. This is my way of giving back to a community whom has supported my music for over the past 25 years. Your children will be afforded the opportunity to learn Guitar, Bass Guitar, and Vocal Range coupled with Projection.

I look forward to sharing with you and your children.

Arthur (Barry) Campbell

2007-11-02T06:52:00.000-07:00

This is it!
All our work comes to showtime TOMORROW!
Here's what you need to know:

Carrie and I will start rehearsal set up at 3 p.m. in Lowville Academy Auditroium tomorrow. We anticipate rehearsal starting at 3:30 p.m. Please arrive and be ready for your first number by that time.
We are running in full costume for rehearsal; but hair and makeup need not be done.

Remember; come prepared and be a good audience member at all times.

So far, I am planning on the following helpers:
Pam backstage line up
Candi and Amy (Nelle's mom) lobby donations
Stephanie, Nelle, Jordyn, Kirstin and Taylor (roaming helpers)

If you can also help in the lobby with silent auctions and basket raffles that is wonderful!

We will all get pizza during our break and all performers will report onstage behind the closed curtain promptly at 7 p.m. for review and final notes. We will stretch and then return to starting places. Parents, please only come back if your child is under the age of 6...7 & up should stay without parents for warm up and notes.

Curtain will rise at 7:30 and the show runs about one hour and fifteen minutes. The show has been broken up into three Acts. Performers will report backstage right at the start of each act they are performing in. They will be able to return to their seats when they are done (unless they are in another number during that act). Parents, please do NOT hang in the wings. Your children will perform much better with you in the audience to watch them..and we do not want alot of people backstage or running back and forth during the show. We do have adults backstage at all times; your children are in good hands. :0)

For the Ghostbuster finale we will just wear whatever costume we are already in, so no worries!!

We are excited to do this FOR JEFFREY!!! Tell all your friends and family to come and enjoy the show!

Rhonda Foote named to October faculty of National Assoc. of Dance and Affiliated Artists Workshop

2007-10-09T06:31:00.000-07:00

Local Dance Director Named to Faculty of National Association

Rhonda Foote, Artistic and Dance Director of “In The Company of Angels” has been asked to join the Regional Faculty in Syracuse NY for the National Association of Dance and Affiliated Artists (NADAA) convention on October 21, in Syracuse, NY.

Ms. Foote will instruct both students and teachers in Jazz and Tap Dance at the convention. NADAA is a national organization offering dance and arts education throughout the country. Ms. Foote is thrilled to be selected for their prestigious faculty.

”I’m honored that I was chosen to join the NADAA faculty,” said Ms. Foote.

Co-Director, Carrie Edick and several students from “In The Company of Angels” will travel to Syracuse for the day of dance education featuring Ms. Foote and an instructor from the Binghamton, NY area.

“In The Company of Angels” is a Fine Arts studio and Outreach Performance Company located in Carthage. Classes are also offered through the studio at Liberty Gymnastics and Dance Center in Gouvernour, NY. The company will present “It’s WitchCraft” at Lowville Academy on Saturday, November 3rd at 7:30 p.m. All proceeds from the show will benefit a Lowville family faced with extreme medical-related costs due to their child’s two-year hospitalization.

About "It's WitchCraft"

2007-10-09T06:13:00.000-07:00

On Saturday, November 3rd, we will present "IT'S WITCHCRAFT" to benefit Jeffrey, a ten year old boy from Lowville, NY.
The show will feature tap, jazz, hiphop, modern, lyrical, clog and character dance. Gymnasts will tumble and there will be pianists, violinists and vocalists as well.
We will feature two outstanding artists in the lobby and will have a coffee cart for your enjoyment prior to the show.
We are anticipating a special presentation before the 7:30 curtain TBA later this week!
All proceeds at the door and during the "Trick or Treat for Jeffrey" finale will be given to the family. Ten percent of any artwork sold will be donated to his family and ten percent of the coffee cart proceeds will be given to the performers towards future activities.

I (Rhonda) spoke at length with Jeffrey's StepMom, Lynnette Franks, this weekend. Jeffrey suffers from an extremely rare immune deficiancy disorder. He has been hospitalized for two years with only ONE four-hour visit home. Jeffrey has had two bone marrow transplants and still is at severe risk for infection. He is now in Rochester, but was eight hours away from home for the majority of his hospitalization.
Lynnette kept praising our community and the people who have been so helpful and supportive to Jeffrey's family; the school, their neighbors, etc. I was overwhelmed with her strength and hope that I have an opportunity to continue getting to know this woman!

This is what I ask;
over the long weekend, what did YOU do with your child?
Go for a walk, visit a pumpkin farm? Decorate for the holiday? Play in the leaves? Read a story, watch a movie?
Now, think about what Jeffrey did this holiday.

Please mark Saturday, November 3rd on YOUR calendar. We want to fill the house for this incredible boy and his family...and want to see YOU there. We promise you will be entertained and inspired by this evening of "WitchCraft"!

Carthage...we just keep adding classes:)

September Newsletter

From The Directors: We want to welcome everyone to an exciting year at our new Outreach Performance Company; IN THE COMPANY OF ANGELS. “We are not a dance studio- we are a fine arts company.” There will be no end of the year recital. Instead, we will have several original performances throughout the year that will help someone or a cause in our communities. Our motto is “Express The Positive”. It is our mission statement to share the positive results of fine art participation with our students, their families and our communities. We are very happy to have you here with us and look forward to this year’s events. – Carrie and Rhonda

Family Membership Cards – The payment system is a punch card system for the whole family. Each card is $100.00 and may be used for everyone in your family. The card will only be punched when your child attends class; you will only be paying when you are actually present for class or rehearsal. The card will also be used for large company groups and company numbers. You may also choose to pay per class on a walk-in basis. The per-class fee is $10.00. If you choose the punch card you save approximately $20.00. There is a separate charge for small groups, solos, duos and trios. If you are interested in one of these types of classes please let the desk attendant know and your instructor of choice will get back to you as soon as possible. We have allotted time in the existing schedule for individual to small group study and will work with you to find a time that accommodates your schedule. You may also contact us by email at angels@inthecoofangels.com to inquire about this aspect of our program.

Competition Numbers 2007/2008 – Everyone is eligible for competition. Please speak to the desk attendant if you are interested and don’t understand how it works. Numbers to date include:

Please note--- You MAY participate in the above numbers for community outreach only. We simply ask that you place a star next to your name on the bulletin board roster if
You are NOT going to compete. (This is just for the choreographer so that he/she will
be certain groups and lines are balanced for competition).

-September Newsletter page 2-

“It’s Witchcraft” – This is our first outreach performance of the season. A flyer is available with more information regarding It’s Witchcraft and the rehearsal commitment. The information is also posted on our blog: www.coofangels.blogspot.com .
Remember; you can bring a friend from another “studio” or someone who just loves to perform to join us during rehearsals! Our performances are for the community and all in the community can participate in this show. You need not be going to competition. Even our preschoolers will be on stage! Use your membership plan or simply pay-by-the-rehearsal to be part of this “Spooktacular event”! Have fun and do something wonderful for a young boy from the Lowville area who has been hospitalized continuously for TWO years.

Fundraiser – We will be having an on going fundraiser at Make and Take Gourmet in Watertown. Please be sure to mention the Password “Angel” when you go there. The company will receive 10% of all proceeds if you do. We are also having a kick- off party there October 12th. For information and an invitation to the kick-off, please get on our email list. Simply email “put me on the list” to- Rhonda@inthecoofangels.com today! This is a great way to get to know the instructors, raise money for the kids, and provide healthy meals for your family. Be sure to tell your friends and family to use our password if they go there.
*We plan to offer several opportunities for fundraising. Our goal is to make fine arts participation as low cost and affordable as possible. Still, costs are inevitable. Especially if you choose to be part of competition or wish to travel to special events, we are working on fundraising projects to help cover “special costs” (i.e.: costumes, fees, travel costs, etc.) If you are interested in working on the fundraising committee, please sign the clipboard on the desk and leave your contact information.

Bring a friend day will be held the week of September 24th – 28th. If you have 2 friends sign up that week you will receive a credit for a free class. The person must mention your name at the time of registration.
Other Dates to Remember:
September 15th and 29th – It’s Witchcraft rehearsals (please see flyer)
October 9th – No Classes on Columbus Day

Costume Information – We will be going with a costume package this year. This will hopefully save people money and assist in making us more uniform when we perform locally. More information will be available the first week in October. Those students who choose to compete WILL be asked to purchase additional costumes in mid-November.

Special Events Notification- We already have many special events “in the works”. We will send out a group email and will post sign up information on the studio bulletin board whenever an event is coming up. You can also check our blog for information: www.coofangels.blogspot.com . Besides productions, we have after school dance parties in Lewis County, in school assemblies and workshops coming up, and community events such as holiday parades and festivals. Again, we wish to stress that these events are open to ALL of our members.

Spread the news…Share the excitement…”Express The Positive” today and everyday!!- Rhonda & Carrie

What is "Make and Take Gourmet?"
At a Make and Take Gourmet private party you can spend time with friends AND prepare meals for your family at the same time. What a concept! In just two hours you can make 6 or 12 really great meals and have fun doing it.

What you need to do prior to coming.
Each guest needs to R.S.V.P. online (see web address below). Each guest chooses and pays for his or her own meals. Go to “book a session” page on the website. Click on the “book an in-store session” button. Select the date and time your private party is scheduled for. If you are a first time customer you will need to register as a “new customer” first. After you register you will be asked to enter the above "private party password". All that’s left to do is to choose your 6 or 12 menu items and follow the remaining instructions.
www.makeandtakegourmet.com

What you need to bring.
We will serve complimentary coffee, water and snacks during your party. All of the cooking pans are provided as well. The only things you need to bring with you are a large cooler or laundry basket for transporting your meals home and your beverage of choice. Get ready to have fun AND have a “guilt-free” night out!

If you have any questions, please call Make and Take Gourmet Watertown location at 788-2739.

It's WitchCraft 2007 announced!

2007-08-05T06:24:00.000-07:00

How YOU can join
“It’s WitchCraft” 2007
…a Company Tradition

In October 2006, Rhonda wrote, choreographed and directed the premiere presentation of “It’s WitchCraft”. Two shows were presented as a benefit for our friend, Lindsay Frost. Lindsay had a double lung transplant at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, PA in the summer of 2006 to help her fight Cystic Fibrosis. (Update on Lindsay: she is doing great!)

This October, we are improving and expanding the original production. Performance dates are now being set. We DO know that we will be performing to help the Franks family from Lowville. Jeffrey is ten years old and has been in the hospital for almost TWO years with a rare disorder. Recently, he was transferred from Ohio to Strong Memorial in Rochester. Still, all of us can only imagine the cost beyond his medical care; the travel, gas, strain on family income, etc.

“In The Company of Angels” will work with Scott Exford at Lowville Academy to present our show for this deserving family. Production date is pending.

If you study with us in any location, you may participate. Simply use your family membership card for rehearsals. There will be numbers for all ages and all types of dance and gymnastics. There will be vocal, acting and instrumental pieces.

“It’s WitchCraft” is truly MAGIC! We will, once again, cast our spell to assist a local family in need during the spellbinding month of October. Rehearsals begin in September, so please fill out the information below and return it to your instructor/choreographer today! You may also email your completed form to info@rhondasfooteworks.com….

Miracle Volunteer Award

2007-07-30T05:55:00.000-07:00

So, I was uncertain of how to approach this blog piece.
I am a bit overwhelmed at the honor I have received...Miracle Volunteer of the Year.
Sponsored by CMN, it recognized me as Director of Rhonda's FooteWorks Dance Outreach Company and the work we have recently done for our communities.
I wish to thank Jocelyn Mejias for the honor; Allan Tuttle for the introduction; My Dad for always being there; Kris and the girls...most of all My Miracle, Madi. My company dancers and their parents as represented that evening by Courtney, Susan and "Madi's DeeDee"-DeAnne...and our future faculty addition to the new company-- Miss Lewis County, Katie Birchenough.
We are only as good as the people we are surrounded by.
I am so thankful that YOU surround me.
-Rhonda Foote
"In The Company of Angels"...a great place to be!
