Bee Free
Our program awards the Ann Brittain Memorial Scholarship to a graduating high school senior in North Carolina every August.
It is with a broken heart that I make this post. This year’s BEE FREE Celebration of Life in memory of Ann Brittain will not be held this year. Due to circumstances beyond control, my personal health issues, and everyone’s crazy life schedules…I simply cannot ”pull it together” in one month.
“Thank you” to everyone that has offered to help, but if my Mother taught me anything, then it was “if you’re going to do something, then do it to the best of your ability.” I simply cannot make it happen this year.
It is my hope and prayer to be able to hold the celebration next year. I have always kept my faith in God’s Plan; so, I am making this post.
I truly am sorry.
🗣This is for all Dads!
“REAL DADS DANCE”
I have had numerous messages today about what “REAL DADS DANCE” is. Long story short, when I was teaching dance and directing pageants, I got it in my head that I wanted to do something to make our kids laugh and enjoy! I came up with the idea of getting a group of Dads together and teaching them a simple routine to perform at the Recitals. Well…it was a huge success, and we did it for several years. Tim Weaver was the original “REAL DAD.” It would never have worked without him. He was my “go to” guy.
Fast forward to today. The BEE FREE Celebration of Life in memory of my Mom, Ann Brittain and Tim Weaver is a growing “event.” I’m not sure what to call it because my dream is for it to become a yearly tradition that anyone can participate in…not just dance and pageantry people.
I was blessed to have several veterans and a few new Dads perform “Old Time Rock and Roll” last year! It was great!
I want this tradition to continue, and I would love for the group to grow. I already have a few new Dads signed up…now let’s make this list grow!
Dads…you have my word when I say the “routine” will be simple, nothing embarrassing at all, and they’ll be just a few practices before 8/6/2022.
