Congratulations to all involved for a highly successful event.

Birthday Quilt

When one of Shelley McAlister's students, Jan, moved to Florida, another student Kathy, a talented quilter, made her a pillow that the class could all sign.  Unbeknownst to Shelley, at the same time, Kathy asked the students to bring in old session T-shirts, and she made Shelley a quilt out of them for her birthday.

Shelley says, "I can't begin to tell you how much this quilt means to me and how much my students mean to me.  They are the best group of friends anyone could ask for.  I'm sure many of you experience the same thing with your classes.  Jacki's programs have brought us together in a very special way, and I will be forever thankful."  Shelley teaches Aerobic Dancing classes in Flint, Michigan.

Marie Burnell, an inspiration in Michigan
Val Bury, instructor in St. Joseph, Michigan, presented a session T-shirt to her student, Marie Burnell, who has been dancing since 1981.  Upon presentation of the T-shirt, Val said to Marie, "I would like to present this session shirt I Got the Music in Me as a token of appreciation and achievement to Marie Burnell because she has the 'music in her' and has been in Jacki's programs since 1981.  She is such an inspiration and looks great!  She always has a GREAT smile, and I love her friendship.  Marie, don't ever lose those qualities about yourself, OK?  Congratulations!"  In addition to Aerobic Dancing, Marie line dances two nights a week, and two mornings a week she enjoys weight- and cross-training at a local health club!  That's truly an active lifestyle to be proud of!
