Manchester-Essex Regional High School Junior Sylvie Oldeman has not let this time of social distancing keep her down. Last week she organized a virtual talent show for our community in support of efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The event is planned for Saturday, April 18th on YouTube.
She is asking that submissions for presentations be made directly through Google Drive (her email is sylvie.oldeman@gmail.com). Feel free to email me with any questions as well. Submissions for the talent show will be due on Thursday, April 16.
"I'd like to cap submissions at two per person, and they can be anything: singing, dancing, acting, magic, tricks, sports, a special talent, etc. Submit something you've been doing to keep busy! Seriously, anyone is welcome to participate in this - I hope people will find joy in sharing their talents with our community - especially because you can do as many takes as you want before you share your final video with me," she said.
"I'm super excited to organize this for our community, as I know there are many children and adults alike who have a lot of time on their hands currently and want to find something to do. The show will be accessible on YouTube on Saturday, April 18, and I will post a link to it once it is available.
Although this talent show is something fun for our community to collaborate on, it is important to remember why we have all of this free time. Therefore, I have set up a GoFundMe page that is linked to a charity called Direct Relief. Direct Relief is making massive efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is further explained on the GoFundMe page. I hope everyone will consider donating. No amount it too small!"
HERE is the link for donations.
