While the formal winners were Bernadette DiPino and Instructor Bill Goschen, there wasn't a single performance that didn't absolutely amaze each and every one of us. I'll give credit where credit is due, Police Chief DiPino clearly was having the time of her life. Her children and friends were in the audience giving praise and I'm sure they couldn't be more proud. The outfits, stunning, each and every one of them. The Judges, (Chuck Sugent, Carol Wright & Amanda Showell) what a classy group of people! OK, now for the best part of all. This charity event was for the Wellness Center and to every one's amazement, this event alone brought in $49,000.00!
The Dancers & their Instructors were:
Adrienne Neleppa & Bob Klinger
Howard Crossan & Agnieszka Beletsky
Susan Pernell & Nick Pasch
April Brilliant & Bill Goschen
Davis Cowall & Pam Wood
Steve Grant & Pam Showell
Stacy Sakai & Dick White
Mary McCurdy & Nick Pasch
Chris Eccleston & Pam Webster
Tom Jones & Cora Elliott
Stevie Prettyman & Marcus Taggart
What a Great event!! It is wonderful to know this was of benefit for the Wellness Ctr.
ReplyDeleteOur son passed away 4 yrs ago with lung cancer & our family was involved with the W. Center. I can't say enough good about what they do for this community. Their support to the patient & their family is undescribable! E. Walls
The Chief flat kicked ass ! And she worked for it, congrats Chief!
ReplyDeleteWe need to have more events like this in our community. It looks like everyone was having a great time and great exercise as well! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteThis is why I come to this blog. Go over to Too Dense and ask a simple question like "who were the participants" and you are bombarded with hateful replies.
ReplyDeleteWho responded hatefully to you, Gene?
ReplyDeleteAnd, more importantly, why didn't you just google it?
See what I mean?
ReplyDeleteGene,
ReplyDeleteI'm being completely earnest here:
1.) Who was hateful to you? I'm not seeing it anywhere in that comment thread.
2.) I googled the website before I put that post up. You asked a question that could've been answered in less than 5 seconds if you had done the same. I didn't even get a chance to get back to you with an answer before you jumped over here and started name-calling.
I honestly don't see why you feel slighted.
Now Chief DiPino can bring some handcuff to my house any day - or night : P
ReplyDeleteI'd be her Pool Boy
To those that cut her down, how many murders has OC had in the last 5 years? Compare total average populus, counting tourists (8 million a year), then look at Salisbury.
Some just can't stand a strong woman as their leader, she's in a man's world doing a great job!
