| Congratulations to our dancers who participated in our 7th performance at the Annual Prudential Center Winterlights Festival at Boston's Prudential Center on December 2, 2007. Paulette's was the sole performer at the festival seven years ago, and since then Winterlights has developed into a day-long event, with performing arts groups from around New England participating. Our dancers did us proud as usual.
