Wishing you and your loved
ones a safe and
happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Birthday wishes to Bobby Morales, Sandy Lizzi
and Alex Abraham.
Tuesday nights will not be the same. Our condolences go out to the
family and friends of Sue Clark. She
passed away last week from a massive heart attack. Sue has been our
waitress at Michael's Cafe, always assisting us with birthday parties
& helping to make our Tuesday night dance parties a great
success. Sue was only 46 years young, married with four young boys.
Please keep her in your prayers.
A DJ and legend on the airwaves, Hy Lit
, passed
away at the age of 73. For years he was a major force on the radio and
in the dance clubs. He will be missed.
Good news for Celine Dion fans...she will be
performing on the November 27th finale of "Dancing With the Stars." She
is scheduled to sing her Oscar winning song "My Heart Will Go On" from
the motion picture "Titanic"
Congratulations to Alexis James, the daughter of
Mark James & Giny Rae Scuirca. - She has been invited to
perform with the U.S. tour of "Simply Ballroom". Alexis
performed in the production at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas. The show
will include celebrity host Debbie Reynolds and "American Idol"
finalists Kimberley Locke, Vonzell Solomon and a cast of world-class
dance champions.

his top dance song - "Shadow Of Love" its available on her new album,
Taking Chances.
The Tuesday night hustle group workshops hosted by Brian
Gallagher are now being held across the street from Michael's
Cafe at the Holiday Inn, in the Sapphire room. Starting at 7-8 PM for

| Thanksgiving Quotes from Dr Duffy |
|
|
To wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, I thought I'd share some of my
favorite gratitude quotes with you.
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming
gardeners who make our souls blossom. ---- Marcel Proust
Do not complain that there are thorns on roses. Be thankful there are
roses on thorns. ---- Henry Ward Beecher
I thank God more for friends than for my daily bread- for friendship is
the bread of my heart. ---- Mary Mitford
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a gift and not
giving it. ---- John Greenleaf Whittier
Gratitude is the memory of the heart. ---- Jean Baptiste Massieu
