Looking for something fun to do when school is out? This summer, Dahlonega is inviting families and friends to the 4th Annual Movies Under The Stars series, Presented by Chestatee Regional Hospital. Beginning on Friday, June 13th, 2014, enjoy summer evenings in Hancock Park in Historic Downtown Dahlonega, while soaking in family favorites on a 23-foot screen.

Before settling down to enjoy the film at dusk, kick off your Friday evenings at 6 p.m. with activities the kids will love, like inflatables, coloring, and free giveaways. Plus, sample from a variety of concessions featuring summer favorites such as hot dogs, popcorn and cotton candy (concession proceeds benefit Enotah CASA and Lumpkin Youth Leadership). Guests are encouraged to bring blankets and low-back lawn chairs.  

Also this month we will have a local group of Flamenco Dancers demonstrating their exciting moves. Keep on reading to learn more about this wonderful form of dance.

Flamenco is a tradition of music, singing, and dance that originated in southern Spain. At its core, Flamenco is an improvised art form, with artists creating energy that is as contagious as it is entertaining. That energy comes from the interaction of people sharing a common language: music.
 
From the theatre to the street and all spaces in between, Callejero Flamenco can be found entertaining audiences at festivals, restaurants, fundraisers, receptions, and parties throughout Georgia and the Southeast.  Visit callejeroflamenco.com for more information.
 
Callejero Flamenco is pleased to donate the pre-show entertainment for Dahlonega’s Movies Under the Stars (The Lego Movie), which helps to support Enotah CASA and Lumpkin Youth Leadership.
 

Become a Preview Sponsor for $100 (includes all four movies - only $25 per movie!!). As a Preview Sponsor, your company will be promoted throughout the entirety of the summer movie series during the movie previews. Your preview advertisement will include your logo/ad image and a short blurb about your business that will be rotated on the 23’ screen until the movie begins at dusk. This is a great way to showcase your business to local families!

About Enotah CASA & Lumpkin Youth Leadership

CASA is the only volunteer organization that empowers everyday citizens as officers of the court. In an overburdened social welfare system, abused and neglected children often slip through the cracks among hundreds of open cases. CASA volunteers change that. Appointed by judges, CASA volunteers typically handle just one case at a time—and commit to staying on that case until the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. While others may come and go, CASA volunteers provide that one constant that children need in order to thrive.  One person can make a world of difference to a child.

Lumpkin Youth Leadership is a leadership project designed to enhance, inspire, and empower freshman and sophomore high school students to explore leadership and career opportunities within the community. The project connects students to community resources and leaders, develops awareness of community challenges and opportunities, as well as engages students in community projects. Students will be empowered with new life skills; connected with community institutions and resources; inspired to explore civic responsibilities; energized to seek potential career pathways; motivated to make a life-long commitment to Lumpkin County; and able to develop and implement a community group project (Adventure Race).
