The Federal Way Coalition of the Performing Arts would like to thank all who were part of the sellout crowd at Shindig! The performers were marvelous and it was so incredibly generous of them to donate their wonderful talents.

Each of them, Robert McPherson, John B. Cooper, Maria Valenzuela, Dohee Kim, Leon Christiansen and their accompanist Glenda Williams provided something so special, it was definitely a night to remember and treasure. Imagine if we could have held it in our planned Performing Arts and Conference Center! Even more people could have enjoyed such great entertainment.

The coalition hopes to raise $1 million toward construction. To date, we have raised over $673,000. The number of people contributing shows strong community support, which is important for some grant requests we are pursuing as well.

For more information about the project, visit www.fwcpa.org. Many thanks again from the Federal Way Coalition of the Performing Arts. We will start planning another event soon.
