Dear Friends,
Fall programs are off to a great start! Girls are attending classes in dance, yoga, singing, photography, leadership development, technology and job training every day of the week. Mentors are busy too! Our first Museum Club took a trip to the Dumbo Arts Festival (see photos) where a group of 25 girls and their mentors enjoyed a wonderful day of art, music and dance. Remember, girls are never charged to participate. We count on friends like you to support our programs.
Jealous? Remember, you are welcome to join us for our free Performance Series every Saturday afternoon at 3pm. We even have music for parents and toddlers and a benefit kids yoga class on Sundays. Read on for more.
