Category: Fund Raiser Cruises

We set sail aboard the Captain Ladies III and cruise to the the greatest hits of the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and one of two from today that make the cut. Come have a great time with friends and family on the Newburyport harbor!!

September 4th, 2016

Newburyport Downtown at the main docks (not where we have set off from in previous years…this is NOT leaving from Plum Island)

$20 a person

Please arrive by 6:15…

(150 people max capacity so resale ticket are first come first serve…We sell out every year so don’t wait till the last minute!)

All proceeds from this years cruise are going to help fund a large youth event in India hosted by “Vision India”. We’re looking to help sponsor young people for this event paying for their travel, food, and housing costs along with follow up training.

Your night out of fun can help put boots on the ground in areas that need positive young roll models, leaders, and the gospel in the global south!

If you know of anyone that would possibly like to sponsor this party by picking up all or part of the tab for the boat ($1150) we will gladly fly their banner and make several announcements advertising their business throughout out “3 Hour Tour!”

When a bank wants to train its staff to recognize counterfeit bills it passes out authentic ones. The more the staff gets accustomed to “real money” the easier it is to recognize the bills that are fake. When I first heard about this training technique it made me think of the philosophy of YouthStorm.  Imagine the impact of surrounding the lost and broken young adults of this community with authentic people? People of high moral fiber not only tend to flock together but they also tend to be the rising tide that raises the ships around them.  Right now there is a shortage of people in the world with high moral fiber. People that communicate face to face, that make eye contact while having a conversation, or that convey their character through a firm hand shake, these are the people we need to be cultivating and the YouthStorm program does just that.  The boat party was a huge success raising about $1500 that will go along way! Thank you to those of you who came and enjoyed the party and thank you to everyone who donated even though they could not make it. You filled my heart with joy by helping me help those in need! This week continues our Night Club Two-Step series followed by West Coast Swing. There wasn’t time to record the lesson last time but I will make sure it happens this week and will have the review up post haste! Oh…and I am DJing this week and have some new tunes to rock out to 😉 Sunday Night  $10 6-6:45 NC2-Step lesson w/Mr. J   6:45-7:30pm WCS w/Mr. J  7:30-?

Time flies when you are having fun! As I am grooming my music to get ready for our family friendly event I realized that the folks at YouthStorm lead by example. They have requested that I keep my music wholesome so that everyone can come and have a good time. There has never been a single problem before, during, or after their boat parties because they heading them off at the pass.  There is a bar, people will be drinking, dancing, and having a good time…the difference is that YouthStorm knows that there are eyes on them. Whether we all like it or not the youth of America is watching our every move…If we drink too much, don’t show respect to our fellow man, or fail to take care of our selves properly we are telling those that come after us that this is the behavior that is acceptable. This party is not just a fundraiser for a great cause…it is also a training tool for all the kids enrolled. I hope that you come aboard and help us lead the way! If you can get away This Saturday August 15th, and like to keep the money that you donate local, and like to make a difference in the future of the human race, you simply need to bring your $20 donation to the dock at #10 82nd St. Plum Island, Newburyport. I can also add you to my guest list if you reply to this email that you are coming. There is a cash bar and you are responsible for your own food (there are 30 restaurants on the way in and out so come early and leave happy!).

As many of you know I am a party DJ in my “spare time.” My favorite event to DJ is almost any party that is thrown on a boat especially if it is raising money for one of my favorite charities…Youth Storm. Youth Storm is a local faith based charity that brings life and leadership skills to kids in their mid to late teens who have not had the opportunity to follow the right people in their life. I have seen kids that were destined to fail in life, have theirs transformed and are now leaders in their communities as a result of Youth Storm.

If you can get away Saturday August 15th, and like to keep the money that you donate local, and like to make a difference in the future of the human race, you simply need to send me your $20 donation so I can add you to my guest list! Although this is not a “Swing Dance Cruise” I always start the evening off with a solid hour of swingable music and most of the people on board have attended at least one of my lessons so there is plenty of people who love to swing! There is a cash bar and you are responsible for your own food (there are 30 restaurants on the way in and out so come early and leave happy!).

So funny story…2 months ago my good friend Josiah, one of the leaders at Youth Storm, reached out to me for the “Boat Guy’s” info. That was the last I heard about it until a recent and fortunate encounter. I found out that a boat party fund raiser had been booked but wait…who is going to DJ the event? There was no DJ for the event and I was able to get the night open thanks to my good friend Donna Shea (who is covering my classes at Longfellows)…so…We now have a DJ! Youth Storm is a local faith based charity that brings life skills to kids in their late teens who have not had people in their life to teach them. I have seen kids that were destined to fail at life, have their lives transformed and are now leaders in their communities. If you can get away Sunday night, and like to keep the money that you donate local, you should get your self out on the boat! Although this is not a “Swing Cruise” I always start the evening off with a solid hour of swingable music and most of the people on board have attended at least one of my lessons so you know its going to be a party!
