The Experience Of A Drumline! & So Much More!

Hello World,

There's an expression in the U.S.- 'It ain't over till the big lady sings.'-In this case it's just the beginning, and no one fits the pun. The 5th Annual, "Battle In the Apple" drumline, dance and step competition in New York will kick off with a free gospel concert featuring the largely talented and inspirational sounds of the Virgina University Gospel Chorale. Thursday, March 17, 2011 at Grace Deliverance Tabernacle. Doors open 6:30pm at 650 Remsen Avenue, corner of Avenue A in Brooklyn, N.Y. Tickets are mandatory. Go to www.battleintheapplefreeconcert.eventbright.com or call (347)264-4069.

The "Battle In the Apple" main event takes place on this Saturday, March 19, and Sunday, March 20th, 2011. Beats are going to be down in the Baruch College Gymnasium. Doors open 5pm at 55 Lexington Avenue at the corner of 23rd Street. Over 500 participants, including high school students from all five boroughs of New York City, New Jersey and Long island will compete on these two days! Tickets are $20 in advance. Go to www.battleintheapple.eventbrite.com to reserve your seats.

Mr. Ty Brown is the event organizer. "This year's "Battle in the Apple" has a certain special feeling in the air. I feel so proud when I hear from all the coaches how serious and focused their kids are in practice," Mr. Brown commented. In creating this year's event Mr. Brown wanted nothing more than to showcase and promote the talents of the youth participating in the event, as indicated by release; Budget cuts to music and art classes in schools have resulted in fewer opportunities to participate in courses at school. By taking part in "Battle In the Apple" these teams and organizations are able to raise much needed funds to keep programs alive. The dance, step and music programs are a vital part of their lives, and provide a healthy, safe, fun atmosphere in which they learn and gain confidence.

Go experience a drumline, and as you've read, so much more. Be inspired to support the following teams and organizations listed below. Be Excited. Be Blessed!

MEET & GREET CHANGE!

Blessed Autumn World!-As we begin to transition from warm to cooler weather we'll learn of opportunities to rededicate ourselves in community initiatives. I've listed some common and perhaps unknown ways to participate in this post. Did you know that your local Police Precinct has meetings with the community each month? In all five boroughs of New York City there is a Community Council. Check your part of the world for meetings and engagement with local police departments. Learn what the department has achieved, ask your questions, learn how you might even be able to participate in some initiative. You'd be surprised what you may learn! The local police department usually has representation at your Monthly local Community Board Meeting . New businesses, road work, zoning issues and more are discussed at these important meetings. Local elected officials and/or their reps attend these meetings as well. You'd get info about their initiatives in your community. Remember ...

How Do You Repair the World?

National Service Shabbat with Geralynn Lane Five years ago... a table was prepared for me to meet  new friends.  The picture above is the day that started it all; actually, it was the preparation for this day. My partner at the podium is Geralynn Lane, not pictured (yet in the audience) is Yusyin Hsin. We’d all been working with NYC Service at partnering agencies. There was an opportunity to attend a National Service Shabbat. I was intrigued by this idea to celebrate service through Jewish custom and belief. As opposed to a formal grace over the food, Geralynn and I led the audience into a moment of gratitude, setting the tone for the evening. There were many progressive young people present. We listened to one another and shared our stories. It was a safe space. Our common share was the gratitude in meeting one another through service.   I grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Honestly the only connection that I had with my Jewish neighbors was my parent’s l...

Sparkle and Create!

Hello World. This was a very busy week. Thank God it's Friday. I want to share two nice video's with you; especially since I didn't communicate yesterday. If you had diamonds on the soles of your shoes, would it inspire you to get up and go? Use it as a metaphor. Are you working on something that may seem hard. Well, be diligent and make it beautiful! Be creative with some of life's tasks; Add some spark. Inspire yourself!
