On September 12, 2009 The North Olympic Volunteer Center and the Red Cross hosted the “Bella Ball”. This dance was a fundraiser for both organizations and was designed to provide a safe Saturday night activity for local teens. The day before the dance we had sold very few tickets and the dance was looking like a potential failure. I was extremely nervous.
At 9 pm the dance began. Success! Almost all the members of Clallam AmeriCorps team showed their support and came out to the dance. Gowns and costumes abound; as teens from the surrounding community came dressed to the nine. The DJ rocked the house with top 40s and classic 90s tunes. We raffled off a variety of awesome door prizes.
The Bell Ball was a hit! It brought the AmeriCorps team closer together and solidified a strong relationship between NOVC and Red Cross. I could not have been more satisfied!
