Funds go help build a Library in Templeton with votes for Templeton’s Star Dancer, Melinda Reed, in Atascadero’s Dancing with Our Stars upcoming show.
Dancing With Our Stars is a fundraising program where North County Dancers apply to represent a non-profit. Each selected Star Dancer is paired with a Star “Pro” Partner who is often a choreographer. Amounts donated count as “votes” for the dancer; the final winner is the dancer that raised the most funds. Their name goes on the Mirror Ball Trophy of past fundraising dancer winners. Additionally, during the competition, every night a People’s Choice Dance winner is chosen from audience ballots and receives an award.

Every $10 donated to TCLA earns one vote in the DWOS contest for the Mirror Ball Trophy and directly supports TCLA and their Building Fund. Reed is covering her own expenses for costumes and publicity.

Reed is a current TCLA Board member and volunteer for over 10 years. Although she’s never done Ballroom dancing, she and her partner Charlie Bradley of Atascadero, are working on the Samba routine in support of our Library.
Templeton once had a Library, started by the Women’s Civic Club in 1914, that later was run by the county. It closed in 1979 after Prop 13 and never re-opened. Templeton is the only town without a Library in SLO County. SLO County needs a parcel tax to match 50-percent to build TCLA’s current design.
