On December 3, 2006 it will be snowing at our YMCA,
from 3pm-5pm. Special Events at Weston
in partnership with the West Broward Family YMCA will bring the sounds,
the excitement, and the beauty of the holiday spirit to our City of
Professional and award-winning performances will bring much enjoyment that will lift our spirits as we celebrate, express, and unite in our diversity.
On this day we will remember our military, our troops at home and abroad performing their duties as soldiers for the cause of freedom and peace and in keeping our nation safe. Our daycare centers, elementary schools, middle and high schools, public and private, will be making hand-made holiday cards to be distributed to our troops by the United States Southern Command and the Mac Dill Airforce Base. The cards will represent the various cultures and the greeting sent in an effort to spread some holiday cheer from their homeland.
Performances will include:
- The Nutcracker – a lively dance and musical with chosen scene performances brought to us by the award-winning Madison-Brody Dance Foundation/Dancer’s Gallery, who have performed in such places as Disney World, Universal Studios, and more.
- The Ashante Cultural Arts Theater will delight the audience as they give a rendition of “Kwanzaa” – a holiday musical dance performance of the African American celebration of the holidays.

A true family affair that will thrill, inspire, and excite our audience as their voices unite in the joys of “Ringing in the Holidays” with their children and families.
