The pros have been delivered to the airport, the equipment has been packed up and the rooms have been cleared out. The reality of life has yet to set in, but the gratitude is in ABUNDANCE!
The organizing committee of the Rose City Salsa Festival; Armando Justiniani, George Caceres, Jennifer Ford, Antonio Torres, Shannon Butler, Ricardo Linnell, Leslie Justiniani, Mike Eskeldson and Simona Boucek would like to thank the many volunteers (you know who you are) that put in so much time and effort helping to support the organizers in carrying out their mission to bring you the most organized, well-run event that we could.
Thank you very much to the top-notch professional instructors and performers that helped us make this event one of the most memorable events in the Northwest. Thank you to Carlos Hernandez, Arlette Guerra, John Fredy Narvaez, Liz Rojas, Cristian Oviedo, Alien Ramirez, Duane Wren, Kati Hernandez and the Cobo Brothers (James, Adam, Erin and Isabel)! In addition, a special thank you to all of the performers who came from near and far to share the stage with our great pros and to be an important part of the Rose City Salsa Festival 2012!
Finally, and with a humble heart, we want to thank each person who came to the event, full pass attendee, night pass attendee, workshop goers, timba dancers, salsa dancers, spectators, and everyone who came to the Rose City Salsa Festival because they wanted to share in something truly magical. A successful event is made by the people who invest in it. If you foster a positive environment, one that has gratitude and respect in abundance for all things different, you encourage people from all places and walks of life to join you in celebration. Be proud to smile widely for the next few days, because you made a difference in the success of this event. Thank you and see you next year at the Rose City Salsa Festival 2013!
