Here’s what they are saying about “Dancing with our Local Stars” - A fundraiser Habitat for Humanity Detroit
 on October 15, 2010 at the San Marino Club in Troy

A Message from Mayor David Bing:

Greetings:

I am honored to welcome all the talented dancers and teachers, gathered for the “Dancing with our Local Stars,” A Benefit for Habitat for Humanity Detroit.

This anticipated event hosted by Successfully Single, Inc. brings some of the region’s most talented dance and performance artists together with local celebrities to raise money for causes it champions.  Tonight’s event will benefit Habitat for Humanity, an organization seeking to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.  Your generosity allows Habitat for Humanity to continue providing families in the metropolitan Detroit area with safe, affordable shelter.

Unfortunately I was unable to attend this evening, but I certainly commend the hard work, dedication and commitment of all involved in this worthwhile event.

Best wishes and continued success.

Sincerely,

Dave Bing
Mayor of Detroit

Dear Janet, 

 

I just wanted to thank you for inviting me to participate in your DWLS event.  In everything:  the venue, the details, the high energy of the crowd; it was obvious what a labor of love this was for you and how hard you worked to ensure a great time was had by all.  Kudos to you on a really fabulous party.  I hope you get a chance to revel in your success and take a moment (or two) to relax.

 

All the best, congrats again, and thanks again.

Hi Janet,

 

I just wanted to "Thank You" for a wonderful evening.  The event was fabulous and I had SO much fun; being the winner only put icing on the cake!

 

As Mrs. Michigan I did well over 70 appearances and one of my most memorable was "Dancing with Our Local Stars."  It pushed me beyond my personal goals and helped me give back to the community.  It was such an amazing opportunity to be able to participate in such a worthy cause and work with everyone.  I can't wait to pass along my trophy to the new winner!

 

Thank You for the wonderful tables and all your support.

Janet,

We really had a great time at the event.  Everybody I talked with had a good time and really enjoyed the showcased dancing.  Thank you and your organization for picking us to be the recipients of the fund-raising portion of the event.  I learned some things about offering the food tasting aspect of the program.  The food and desserts were well received.  If you get a chance and are on the eastside, I would love to take you on a tour of our work.

Janet,

 

Another successful DANCING WITH THE LOCAL STARS, you should be very proud of your accomplishment.  It was a sensational and spectacular event with an upscale touch of class.

 

The dancing was magnificent and graceful.  Each of the celebrities made a positive impression.  But, of course, the night was captured by the professional dances whose style could not be equaled.

 

The judges were most gracious, insightful, and flattering to all the contestants.  This was appreciated by both the dancers and the audience. And the M.C., of course, kept the program on track during the evening.

 

Also hearing the live sound of a full band at full volume was appreciated in comparison to the routine DJ music.

 

The gourmet food at the food stations was superb with a taste range of exciting flavors.

 

Imagine all this and 900 attendees.  A record for any club!

 

Janet, you are now the reigning Queen of marvelous dance events.  A lot of people are now taking notice and you will be in demand for future ballroom events.

 

I took many pictures and I will glad to show them to you at the next SUCCESSFULLY SINGLES event.

 

Congratulations,
