Memories of the Innisdale Dance a Thon

During the United Way Week, Innisdale Student's Council held a Dance A Thon in the school cafeteria.  I attended the 1999 and 2000 Dance a thon.  After midnight, some songs were played twice due to requests at the booth.  This was my first all night dance experience.  I attended the 1999 and 2000 Dance a thons.  Students had to raise 20 bucks each for United Way by collecting pledges in their neighbourhood.  I raised a lot of funds for this event both years I attended the Dance a Thon.  The Dance a Thon started at 7 PM and went till 7 AM, the next morning.

The DJ Company was called Sights and Sounds.  Their setup included two large video screens, track spots, and two flash panels on the floor.

The Grand prize was a pager, sponsored by Rogers

In 2000, I won a Rogers Pager at the Dance a Thon because I dance most of the night away.
