Dance Benefits Las Lomas Memorial Tonight
Funk dance party raises money for outdoor memorial to two rafters who drowned a year ago.
The funk music that the late Matt Miller and Gavin Powell liked will thump in the small gym at Las Lomas High Friday, Feb. 24, in a dance/fundraiser.
The funk dance party is held by the senior class — Miller and Powell's class — is gathering money to build an outdoor education memorial at Las Lomas.
A year ago, with streams running high from rain, Miller and Powell drowned in a rafting accident through the urban waterways of Walnut Creek, which ended up sweeping them through underground channels.
The funk dance party is scheduled for 4 to 8 p.m. at the small gym. There will be food, a silent auction and a tile fundraiser in which people can paint a tile.
If you have something you'd like to donate for the silent auction, please email the senior officers at outdoormemorial@yahoo.com. Donations may be made out to Las Lomas High School with "Outdoor Classroom Memorial" written in the memo line, and sent to Las Lomas High, 1460 S. Main St., Walnut Creek, CA 94596.
