Starshine Theater Offers Drama Camp
Starshine Theater of Great Falls is offering 1-week Drama Camps in August for ages 5 thru 12 years. Patricia Budwig, M.A., instructor, will guide the students through the creative facets of composing and performing a new play together. Script will be literature-based, as each student will bring in a favorite book or story containing a character they'd like to play in the final performance. Each student will contribute ideas toward a story line, incorporating the character they will portray. Dance, action, and stage battle roles as well as singing roles also available for those interested. The cast will also compose a song together for the show, as well as choreography. There will be plenty of fun games and outside sports on the playground on premises at the GFUMP School location. The week will culminate with an informal open-house-style recital performance on the last day of camp, so family and friends can experience the play the students have created together. For more details, contact Patricia Budwig at: 703-790-9050 or StarshineTheater@aol.com.
Loebig Chiropractic to Host Blood Drive

“The turnout for our last blood drive was so amazing, we decided to host another event to assist with our local blood shortage,” said Loebig.
The American Red Cross mentions that people can donate a pint of blood every 56 days and each donation can help save up to three lives.
Prospective blood donors should bring a photo ID, weigh a minimum of 115 pounds and be at least 17 years of age. A 16-year old may donate blood with written parental consent. Many health conditions and medications do not prevent someone from donating blood, so all interested parties are encouraged to call 703-757-5817 with any questions.
