I couldnt figure out the best place for this, but since its about something my daughter is doing I figured parenting was a better bet...
so... Im going to brag now
Im sure many of your cities (in the US anyway) has a form of Festival of Trees this time of year. Atlanta has been doing it since I was a child.

Its a great fundraiser each year for Children's Hospital...
And Im proud to say that my 11 year old daughter will be dancing with her ballet/pointe group (yes she's so good she was put on pointe early) on a stage in front of hundreds of people tonite.
I'm so proud of her I could cry....and I know I will...everytime that child gets on a stage I use a box of kleenex. Thank god she doesnt have her mothers non-grace....I myself walk into a wall at least once a day
