By Barbara Edwards River Valley Times Reporter - The Cosumnes River Elementary School (CRES) Father/Daughter Dance kicked off on Saturday, Jan. 23 with all of the glitz and glamour expected of a “Hooray for Hollywood” theme complete with a “red carpet” and flash of paparazzi cameras. The dance was held in the C.W. Dillard Elementary School multipurpose room in Wilton. The annual PTA-sponsored event was open to CRES girls in all grade levels and their fathers or father figures. Tiny white lights adorned the stage along with gold, black and movie camera-shaped novelty balloons on every wall of the multipurpose room. A disc jockey provided popular dance music for the crowd of approximately 300 to dance the night away. Dads and their daughters were greeted at the door by Hollywood legend Elvis Presley - aka CRES Principal Mike Gulden. Marilyn Monroe was represented by parent volunteer Pam Vanneman and Hannah Montana appeared courtesy of Brittney Widler, a former CRES student. Kiwanis Club of Rancho Murieta members Frank Hashorva, Bernie Bowes and Peter Telfer donned tuxedos and manned the doors on the red carpet with a paparazzi camera. RM community members, CRES families and CRES librarian Joan Stretars generously provided prizes for raffles held during the event. CRES parents provided a delicious array of desserts and beverages for the dance. Event co-chair Becky Morales expressed gratitude for the use of the venue and for the volunteers who helped make the evening possible. “A huge thank you goes to our fellow ‘country school’ Dillard Elementary for letting us use their multipurpose room,” said Morales. “We also had a group of wonderful CRES parents who volunteered to set up, decorate and work during the event and do cleanup. It was truly a community effort.” This is an Online publication of The River Valley Times PO Box 209 Wilton CA 95693 (800) 700-2166 For comments or questions, email us President: Roy Herburger rherburger@herburger.net.
