Gerry Lougheed Jr., charter president of the Sudbury Sunrisers and Chief Frank Elsner of the Greater Sudbury Police Services, present hoop dancers Shayne and Dana Flamand and their drummer Darren McGregor with a cheque for $4,300 to put toward travel expenses to the World Champion Hoop Dance Competition in Phoenix, AZ.

Currently, Shayne is ranked No. 6 in the world and says he is very optimistic to become the 2010 World Champion. This will be Dana’s first world championship. The money was raised through the Rotary “Four For All” program.

Volunteers held a community Christmas concert with local musical artists and Gerry Lougheed’s storytelling.
