OMC’s Valentine’s Ball featuring ‘Dancing with The Judges’ Feb. 11
Oakland Mediation Center will present an entertaining evening of ballroom dancing featuring federal and Oakland County judges and professional dancers at the Auburn Hills Marriott Centerpoint on Friday, Feb. 11.

Proceeds will benefit OMC’s Youth Programs. OMC’s Youth Programs are proven remedies to bullying, violence, and school drop-out. Michigan is experiencing a drop out crisis of tremendous proportions, approximately 21,000 students per year, and cannot afford the social or economic costs of increased crime rates, lower tax revenue, strained social services, and fewer well-educated workers to attract 21st century jobs.

The Valentine’s Ball featuring “Dancing With The Judges” is a semi-formal evening of dinner and dancing. Federal and Oakland County Circuit and District Court judges will perform a ballroom dance chosen by their professional dance instructors. At the end of the performances celebrity commentators such as Karen Drew, Local 4 anchor, and Judy Susskind, professional dancer/attorney, among others will provide critique of each routine. Master of ceremonies for the evening will be Oakland County Executive Brooks Patterson.
