OPERATION NORTH POLE HEART ADVENTURE





























Well, as you can see, the girls really made an impact on many children's lives at Operation North Pole.  They greeted them with warm smiles, danced for them and then danced with many of the children who were suffering with life threatening illnesses or diseases.  This magical afternoon was truly one of the best heart adventures!  We had the honor to participate through Ellen Werksman.  After she had invited us to dance at Barrington's kindlefest, she asked if we were willing to dance and participate in the event Operation North Pole and we jumped at the chance.  At the end of the day, it was the children of Operation North Pole who totally made a difference in the lives of our Premier girls.  It was an experience I know we will never forget.  

They arrived on the metra train that was decorated like the Polar Express.  Then taken to the Christmas fantasyland complete with music, candy, games, Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus and all the most popular characters out there these days including a performace by Elsa from Frozen and snow that dropped from up above while she sang Let it Go! Fireman from all over helped with games and Ellen's girls and Premier girls entertained the crowd with many holiday dances.  They danced a few hours with lots of children. Many kids just loved shaking our poms as they danced with the girls.  It was really heartwarming to see so many parents and children smiling and having fun when usually on most other days they are dealing with such challenging life situations at hospitals.

God bless all those children and their families as well as the compassionate volunteers who helped make all of their Christmas dreams come true!
