Old Hollywood Glamour Ballroom Gala To Benefit Meals On Wheels is a Huge Success!

Monday, June 13th, 2011

 

   

On May 21, 2011, hundreds of people gathered to help raise money for Meals On Wheels at the Fitz, Vogt & Associates, LTD 17th Annual Ballroom Gala.  Guests crowded the dance floor and danced to live music by Rico Barr and the Jumpn’ Jive Review.  They also enjoyed dinner, raffles, silent and live auctions and ballroom dance performances by Mason Martell and Jazmyn Durgin and Natalie Miles and Anthony Guthrie of The Newport Ballroom and Dance Studio of Newport, NH and Pamela & Richard Clough of MoCo Arts of Keene, NH.  The evening was masterfully emceed by Mike Morin of the WZID (95.7 radio) Morning Show and there was even a special appearance by “Marilyn Monroe”.

SJCS would like to send a huge thank you to the businesses and individuals who, in what continues to be a difficult economic time, helped us achieve our goal for this fundraiser.  Proceeds will help us in our struggle to provide a nutritious meal, a daily safety check and socialization to our elderly and homebound clients throughout Hillsborough County.   SJCS serves an average of 1,650 meals a day.  For many of our homebound clients, the only person they see during the day is their Meals On Wheels driver.  

Since its founding St. Joseph Community Services (SJCS) has served more than 10.1 million meals to an elderly, disabled and often isolated population.  Fundraising dollars touch every meal we serve.  We served 448,409 meals last year, this is 28,501 more meals than the previous year and the need continues to grow. 

If you would like to help SJCS meet this ever increasing need by making a donation online please visit www.mealsonwheelsnh.org or send a donation to us at St. Joseph Community Services, PO Box 910, Merrimack, NH, 03054.  If you would like to make a difference in an elder’s life by volunteering please visit our website or call 603/424-9967.

St. Joseph Community Services fosters independence and life enrichment for seniors and other qualified adults through nutrition, social engagement and community services.

Natalie Miles and Braden Miles will perform a Foxtrot to “Night and Day”.
 
Natalie Miles was born to Australian Ballroom Champions, Roy & June Mavor.  She is a former US Amateur 10-dance Champion and US Professional Rising Star Champion.  Some of her film credits include, Dance With Me and Enchanted and she was also a featured dancer on the 80th Academy Awards Show.

Braden Miles was born in Newport, NH.  Braden graduated from Ithaca College with a BFA in musical theatre and has since performed in several professional productions throughout the US.  Most notably, he toured in the national tour of Titanic, the Musical.  Other favorite roles include:  Prince Charming in Cinderella; Joe Hardy in Damn Yankees; Smudge in Forever Plaid; Sid Sorokin in the Pajama Game; Cinderella’s Prince in Into the Woods; and the Voice of the Plant in Little Shop of Horrors. 

Natalie and Braden met each other while working aboard Crystal Cruises (while touring the Mediterranean Sea).  He was singing in a four-part harmony group called, Forever Plaid and she was performing as a dancer.  Later Braden coaxed her into moving to Newport, NH where they are now the owners of Newport’s “Secret” Ballroom.

Mason Martell is 9 years old and is a third grader from Newport. He enjoys soccer, gymnastics and art.  He met Jazmyn in preschool and they have been in the same class every year (except in the second grade which was disappointing for Mason, Jazmyn and their moms.) His favorite dance is the waltz.

On April 24, 2010, several hundred people gathered to help raise money for Meals on Wheels at the Fitz, Vogt & Associates, LTD 16th Annual Ballroom Gala.  Participants crowded the dance floor and danced to live music by Rico Barr and the Jumpn’ Jive Review.  They also enjoyed dinner, raffles, silent and live auctions and ballroom dance performances by Royal Palace Dance Studio, Arthur Murray Dance Studio, Paper Moon Dance Center and Krystal Ballroom Dance Studio.  The evening was skillfully emceed by Mike Morin of the WZID (95.7 radio) Morning Show.

Thank you to the businesses and individuals who, in this difficult economic time, helped us achieve our goal for this event.  Proceeds will help us in our struggle to provide a nutritious meal, a daily safety check and socialization to an average of 1,650 elderly and homebound clients throughout Hillsborough County.   For many of our homebound clients, the only person they see during the day is their Meals on Wheels driver. 

Since its founding St. Joseph Community Services (SJCS) has served more than 9.6 million meals to an elderly, disabled and often isolated population.  Fundraising dollars touch every meal we serve.  We served 419,908 meals last year, this is 37,300 more meals than the previous year and the need continues to grow. 

If you would like to help SJCS meet this ever increasing need by making a donation please click the “Donate Online” button above or send a donation to us at St. Joseph Community Services, PO Box 910, Merrimack, NH, 03054.  If you would like to make a difference in an elder’s life by volunteering please call 603/424-9967.

St. Joseph Community Services fosters independence and life enrichment for seniors and other qualified adults through nutrition, social engagement and community services.
