“Dances in December,” a benefit performance for The Garden Island/Zonta Club Christmas Fund, is set for 4 p.m. Saturday at Lihue Parish Hall, 4340 Nawiliwili Road.
Kauai Dance Theatre’s winter student showcase is a family friendly, 30-minute presentation of novelty dance, classical and contemporary ballet, and will entertain all ages.
Donations of $5 at the door will help our less fortunate community members have a brighter holiday season. For more information visit www.KauaiDanceTheatre.com or contact Director Janie Crane at 332-9737.
About 400 families filled out applications seeking assistance from The Garden Island/Zonta Christmas Fund, which was established in the early 1980s.
In the past two years, the fund has raised more than $50,000, and every dollar has gone toward bringing joy to those who otherwise would likely go without anything on Christmas.
This program is headed up by Dimples Kano, 93, who has led it for nearly two decades and refuses to retire because she loves the happiness it brings to others.
That’s where you come in.
Donations to the Christmas Fund are used by Zonta Club members to purchase local gift certificates that are in turn distributed to families in December. Each donated dollar is accounted for and carefully recorded. There are no administrators collecting salaries.
If you hold a fundraiser for the Christmas Fund, let us know and we’ll spread the word. Anyone making a donation of $50 or more may have their picture presenting the check published in TGI.
Checks, payable to Zonta Club of Kauai Foundation, can be mailed to P.O. Box 3032, Lihue, HI 96766. For info., call Dimples Kano at 822-4517.
