What a night! What a dance! What a great evening of food and fun(d) raising for Family Counseling Services.

At the end of the evening, we had two dancing winners:

The Judges' Choice Award –
WTVO-TV Anchor Nicole "Cha-Cha" Kilmer (for the 2nd year!) and her partner, Mr. Norton, from Arthur Murray.

The People's Choice Award –
Wm Charles President Gary "Legs" Marzorati and his partner, Ms Polit, from Arthur Murray.

We have to give an unofficial “Project Runway” Award to Lisa Frost for her clever, hand-painted dress—painted as an homage to FCS clients. And a “Top Model” Award to Nicole Kilmer who fit very nicely into the Karina Smirnoff costume from “Dancing with the Stars”!

Your online and onsite voting for People's Choice raised over $5,600 for FCS clients—how exciting is that?!?!

Thanks to you and to all our dancers:
