| SHOP FOR A CAUSE at MACY'S THIS OCTOBER 17 - OURS! |
 Knock On Wood and Tappers With Attitude are proud to announce that we have been selected to participate in Macy's 2009 Shop for a Cause event. Macy's Shop for a Cause provides you with an opportunity to support TWA, Inc. by purchasing a $5 Shopping Pass to use for exclusive savings in every Macy's store on Saturday October 17.
Here's how it works - when you purchase a ticket at KOW, you will be eligible for: 20% off everything you purchase at Macy's that day (some exclusions apply), 25% off one store-wide item, and a chance to win valuable prizes like a $500 Macys gift card! Tickets cost only $5 so you can save big on every purchase in the store while helping your favorite dance group. Remember - you only need one ticket to save all day in every way!! And TWA keeps 100% of the proceeds from all ticket sales!
But this fundraiser doesn't raise any money unless the tickets actually get sold, so please purchase your own tickets for Macy's Shop for a Cause, and encourage your friends and family to buy tickets for their own use.
It's a real "win/win," and we hope to sell all 200 of our ticket allotment from Macy's, which will mean a cool $1,000 for new programming and other things that benefit our nonprofit organization. Help us meet this goal!! Please stop at the front desk from September 1 through October 16 to purchase tickets for the event, which will be held Saturday, October 17 at all Macy's locations. Questions? Contact Leslie Cordes.

CONGRATULATIONS to COREY HIRSCH!
|
Corey is the winner of the second annual Kindra J. Ingram Tap Enrichment Scholarship. This merit-based award was presented at the Atlas Performing Arts Center.
 Corey is a 9th grade student at the Jewish Day School in Rockville where he is on the honor roll as well as the math team. He started at KOW in '06, in "Jazzy" Jim Hughes' "Tap for Boyz" class. He progressed rapidly and now takes Baakari Wilder's Level 3 class. He has been fencing for 4 years and he has just recently become a tutor for Bar Mitzvah students (his first paid job!).
We are all extremely proud of Corey and his accomplishments and look forward to seeing his continued progress. The next Ingram Tap Scholarship recipient will be selected in spring 2010; stay tuned for application information. TWA Board members Kindra Ingram and Tim Daniel
congratulate Corey. Photo © Enoch Chan 2009.
