      We're 60% of the way there in less than a week! How encouraging, I feel so blessed! Let's keep putting the word out to make that goal. If we go over, it will help us with other expenses like mastering, production, equipment repair, hiring choreographers, dancers, etc. We can use all the help we can get. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
