We are hosting our annual gala fundraiser, Taste of the Stars, at the Four Seasons in Georgetown this Saturday, November 22, 2008.

The dance portion of our event has a unique Studio 54 style theme this year. We have a DJ and need dancers to help execute the theme. It is fun and club-like, but very tasteful. You will be working with innovative make-up and hair artists. A professional photographer will be onsite to capture photos for your portfolio. Your involvement in this event will ensure its success and impact the daily lives of children whose childhood as been disrupted by a life-threatening disease.

The event is THIS SATURDAY. Please respond ASAP to celebrate@starlight-midatlantic.org with a full body picture, a head-shot and experience.
