The QSDA had a wonderful performance today at the
Elastic Mind Series at Leo Burnett Detroit. The event is to help expand
the creativity and thinking of the employees by exposing them to other
forms of art, cultures and ways to life.
The kids all danced wonderfully and did an
even better job speaking by introducing each dance and explaining their
history. At the end they answered questions from the many audience
members. We are so proud of all of you for not only your fabulous
performance, but also for your professionalism - you received many great
compliments and truly made us proud! Way to go!!!
