The Daddy Daughter Dance received amazing reviews from all the dads and daughters!  Thank you to Iklas Bashi, Margie Tatum,  Jennifer Jamoua, and Mary Sinawi for planning such a beautiful and memorable evening. The evening was filled with music, photos, heart decor, and of course lots of food! The walls were lined with scripture quotes and hearts.  We cant wait for the 2013 Daddy Daughter Dance!

The Mother/Son Bowling event was also a hit!  The moms and sons had a great time bowling.  The mother/son teams who received top prizes for highest scores were Cindy/Owen Thieme, Shelly/Dino Sigler, and Luke/Adora Ibrahim.  Prizes consisted of an ipod and gift cards compliments of the Beauty Lounge in West Bloomfield.  Thank you to Lisa Yaldoo who graciously donated the gift cards.
