DASHA FLASH’N’FRIENDS “HERO CANVAS PROJECT”

Dasha Flash’n’Friends™ ‘Act of Kindness’ Mission Accomplished! Over 1000 personalized greetings received for our Canadian Soldiers overseas in Kandahar, Afghanistan with beautiful children’s “Hero” artwork.

The Dasha Flash’n’Friends “Hero Canvas Project”™ has now begun transport to our troops from National Defence Ottawa to the Canadian Force Base Trenton enroute to Canadian Base in Kandahar. For more information click here.

The Dasha Flash’n’Friends “Hero Canvas Project”™ held in the beautiful Royal Ontario Museum on February 10, 2008 was so much fun for everyone. Not only did people enjoy viewing over 45 feet in length of beautiful “Hero” paintings created by children in the Toronto community, there were also great things to see and hear. We had both Captain Bob Kennedy and Lieutenant Mark Timms of the Canadian Forces receive the “Hero Canvas Project”™ on behalf of our Soldiers in Kandahar. The finest Pipe Major, Master Warrant Officer Iain Lang of the 48th Highlanders of Canada opened the ceremony with his incredible bagpiping. The very talented music band “Hello Beautiful” performed an acoustical set of their awesome music. A Grand Special Thank You!

Easter in the Park – Kew Gardens (April 8, 2007)

Well the festivities in the park on Easter Day were a smash hit. It was mighty cold outside but that didn’t stop the show from going on. We had real Bunnies for kids to hold and hug, musical chairs contest with prizes for all and a sneak preview of my coming real soon new book called:

Dasha Saves the Day: At the Park
which was stage performed by the most amazing
talents kids from our local schools. AND we had the
Easter Bunny teach us how to do the The BUNNY HOP!
It was awesome!!
