Murray's comments:
I have attended and participated in this event
for three years now and it's better and better
every year. Where else could you get the
opportunity to get free professional dance
lessons, dance to great music emcee'd by a
prominent media personality in a great location,
participate in fabulous prize draws with odds
that are very favorable, get served free snacks,
and all you have to do is show up with $25
pledged by some generous sponsor?

This event is primarily the brain child of
Doug Hellyer. Doug has Parkinson's and
has worked hard to make this event a fun,
memorable, successful social event as well
as an important fund raiser.
If you don't live close enough to Vancouver to
attend but you still wish to participate..... well, hey....
You could sponsor your favorite Vancouver Parkie....
Cheers ......... murray
