Swansboro, NC

The Christmas season got off to a wonderful start this past weekend when the White Oak River Dance Company, (Swansboro Dance Studio in Swansboro N C) presented The Nutcracker.

Perhaps you are not familiar with the Ballet. It is based on the story "The Nutcracker and the King of the Mice" by E.T.A. Hoffman. The story is about a young, German girl who dreams about a Nutcracker Prince and a Mouse King with seven heads.

The talented White Oak River Dance Company dancers, beautiful costumes, enchanting sets and magical, festive music provided an enchanting evening of entertainment.

I want to thank all the dancers, choreographers, set designers, costume designers, stage hands, parents and anyone who had a part in the Ballet for all they did to bring this incredible production to Swansboro, North Carolina.

Supporting our local schools and its programs and activities is our responsibility as parents and citizens. There are many ways we can do this--

• contributions
  
  
• volunteering our time and resources
  
  
• attendance at functions, game and activities
  
  
• encouraging students, teachers and all those who work in the schools, programs and activities

All these are wonderful ways to support our schools and students but what if you could help support the local high school band and it would not cost you any extra money or time? How great would that be?

It is true, you can! Every time you buy groceries you can help the Swansboro High School Band Boosters.

(band practice)

The program is called LionShop and Share. When you shop at Food Lion and use your MVP card a portion of your grocery bill will be donated to the Swansboro Bank Boosters.

Here is what you must do to participate:

• If you do not have a Food Lion MVP card, pick up a registration card at Food Lion.
  
  
• Once you have a MVP card go to the website (make sure pop-up blocker is turned off)
  
  
• Next click on "Register your MVP card"
  
  
• Click "Select an Organization"
  
  
• In the pop-up, click on "NC", "Swansboro" and "Swansboro High School Band Boosters"
  
  
• Click "OK" and "Add MVP cards"
  
  
• Fill in all registration information
  
  
• Click "Next"

You will receive notification that you are now enrolled in the program.

Each time you shop at Food Lion, remember to have your MVP card scanned so the donation will be made to the Swansboro High Band Booster.

This does not interfere with the MVP discounts and specials nor do you have to purchase MVP specials for the donation to be made. A portion of your purchase is donated each time you shop and have your card scanned if you register your card.

We thank Food Lion for its commitment and generosity to the communities and people they serve with the LionShop and Share program .
