Austin--March 24th Fundraiser for Jean Claude

[kimberly caterino]

 

Hello Friends and Students of Jean Claude:

Our beloved Austin dance teacher and choreographer from Ivory Coast, West Africa, Jean Claude Lessou, has been in the US since 1997 and he is planning his first return visit home to see his mother who has been ill. He needs our help to be able to afford a trip home so we’re throwing him a  fundraiser on Sunday, March 24th.  Several groups are donating their talents to entertain us and help Jean Claude reach his goal.  Here are the details When:                                         Sunday, March 24th. Time:                                           1:00pm to 6:30pm Where:                                         Copa Bar and Grill, 217 Congress Ave--Outdoor stage (downtown) Suggested Donation:                           $10.00 Online Paypal Fundraiser Account:             https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=tkcamara%40yahoo.com&lc=US&item_name=Jean+Claude+Africa+Trip&currency_code=USD&bn=PP-DonationsBF%3Abtn_donateCC_LG.gif%3ANonHosted *Children are welcome to this event so please come and bring the children!

Sixteen years is a long time without seeing his family and we want to help make this long-overdue trip a reality for Jean Claude.  Let's show our appreciation to him for his dedication as a choreographer and teacher to us all these years.  If you can't afford $10, please give what you can.  Every dollar will help.  If you can give more, please do.  It's going to be hard to raise the necessary funds and the extra help will be most appreciated and humbly accepted.   *Impotant:  If you are unable to attend the fundraiser on March 24th, but want to donate to the cause, please go to the link above to donate to Jean Claude's fundraiser account on PayPal. Thank you very much on behalf of Jean Claude for your friendship, dedication and generosity!
