After getting excited about the Make Music New York events in June annually (and getting to three musical events this week outdoors for free no less) I decided this is a good time to launch more networking ideas that have been hatching out quietly among friends, playgroup pals, and others all wanting to make a little more time to have meet and greet socials and do a little more with our young uns here in the city.

Part of taking AVP (Alternatives to Violence Program) that is offered in communities and within prisons is to 'rename yourself'. I actually thought of using a adjective with the same starting letter or sound for my kids before this I think because I liked that Lavender and Leah flowed.
