Dear Tonya and Atlantis,

Thank you for including us to perform at your beautiful party last night. You were such gracious and attentive hosts down to every detail. You certainly put in a lot of hard work.

Our little Christmas presents and treats waiting for us on the table was a nice touch,we really enjoyed them. You're a very good MC,Tonya.

Thank you for your kind introduction for our act (and for pronouncing our name correctly--many others don't!). You also have a beautiful singing voice! And Atlantis,that was an elegant veil dance you did! Thank you for establishing a Tribal Group category at BDUC and for fostering an
appreciation for the diverse styles of bellydance in our huge community.

Have a very happy and safe holiday season!
Kristin Ohman, Director of The Blue Stars of Tanit
