You or your child can take voice lessons in Ditmas Park!

If you or your child are contemplating taking singing lessons, the new year is a perfect time to start. Whether you sing in the shower or onstage, I can help you improve the many facets of your voice including technique, stage presence, repertoire, and music theory skills. I tailor lessons to your needs, abilities, and goals. I have an in-home studio in the heart of Ditmas Park, and I can also travel to you if you have access to a piano or keyboard. I teach singers of all ages and levels. 

A bit about me: I am a conservatory-trained professional singer, and have been an educator for over five years. I am a patient, nurturing, efficient teacher who always has the students' best interest in mind. Contact me for more information regarding rates, location and scheduling. I look forward to singing with you!

Kristin Slipp, voice and music educator

Announcing:
Golden Festival 2012, January 13 & 14, http://www.goldenfest.org/
Sponsored by Zlatne Uste Balkan Brass Band, www.zlatneuste.org

Soon it will be that time of year... the doldrums of January.  Time to
perk up with 13 hours of Balkan music, dance, snacks, and fun.  As it
was last year, the Golden Festival will be held at historic Grand
Prospect Hall in Park Slope, 263 Prospect Ave, Brooklyn.  More than 60
groups have applied to perform.  This year's schedule is still to be
finalized (keep your eyes on the festival website ), but last year
about 2500 people heard some 71 groups over the two nights.

A Microsoft Word copy of the press release is attached and a digital
copy can be found at http://goo.gl/Stp3N .  Downloadable photos of
last year's festival can be found at: http://goo.gl/WzWIC.

From the beginning in 1986 the festival has been a benefit for Balkan
charities and educational institutions.  Over the last several years
we have donated around $16,000 to groups such as Mercy Corps, IRC,
Heifer, East European Folklife Center, Voice of Roma, and Search for
Common Ground.

Should you want to interview someone about the festival, I suggest the
leader of Zlatne Uste, Michael Ginsburg, who can be contacted at:
mginsburg@gmail.com.

We hope you find the Golden Festival newsworthy.  And we hope to see
you there; please contact me about press credentials.

Grand Prospect Hall, 263 Prospect Avenue, between 5th and 6th Aves, Brooklyn, NY
Friday, Jan 13th, 7:30 pm – 12:30 am; Admission: $25, students with ID $20

Listings Request: Spoke The Hub Presents The Annual Capricorns Birthday Bash, January 12, 2012 @ Brooklyn Boulders

Spoke The Hub

Presents The Annual

Capricorns Birthday Bash

January 12, 11am - Midnight

@ Brooklyn Boulders


What: Annual Capricorns Birthday Bash - Learn to climb for charity! (For all ages!)
When: January 12, 11am - Midnight
Where: Brooklyn Boulders, 575 Degraw Street  Brooklyn, New York, NY 11217
Info: www.spokethehub.org

Spoke the Hub birthday celebrants invite one and all to come party UP with us as we summit new heights at our neighbor's place — Brooklyn Boulders — across the street from our Gowanus space on 295 Doulgas Street. As their founder says, "If you can climb a ladder, you can climb a wall" and there is plenty of padding everywhere for the more timid or fragile amongst us!

In lieu of gifts, we Capricorns are asking our friends and families for a $25 donation (or more, if you can) to Spoke the Hub this year which will go toward supporting our work at the Consolation Center- Haiti, a new girls' school and orphanage we have been partners with since 2010. (Our next work trip to the CCH in Haiti is in February 2012 – want to join us?)

Here's what your $25 donation gets you:
Admission to Brooklyn Boulders where you will be outfitted with a pair of special climbing shoes, then you can climb their fabulous walls or learn to tightrope walk ("slack lining") any time you want, between 11am and midnight on Saturday, January 21, 2012.

For a $100 (or more) donation:
you have access to all of the above as well as your own Boulder's climbing expert to assist you the art of belaying! (Belaying donations must be received by January 13th in order to secure your instructor. To "Learn the Ropes" yourself, a separate belaying certification course is offered; please contact Brooklyn Boulders for course certification details:

Please make your tax-deductible "Capricorn's Birthday Bash" donations online or drop off in our office before January 21st as you will need an official Capricorn's Bash receipt to get in and climb on Saturday.

And at 9:00pm, if all that activity has made you hungry and thirsty, or if you just want to come and say "hi", come on over to our space at Gowanus Arts (295 Douglass Street) for birthday cake, champagne, dancing and relaxing with friends!

Spoke the Hub, founded by Artistic Director Elise Long, has been trailblazing in Brooklyn and beyond since 1979.  Called a "neighborhood treasure," "cultural pioneers" and a community "staple" by the press and public, Spoke offers a wide spectrum of classes, performances, and special community events for all ages, 7 days a week, all year round.  Visit our website for a full schedule of classes and events:  www.spokethehub.org  (718) 408-3234.

FOUND STRAY BROWN PIT BULL near EAST 19TH ST

Yesterday, a stray Pit Bull made my back yard his/her home. After trying to find his owner and contacting several Rescue Shelters,  Animal Care & Control picked him up. I live near East 19th St, between Glenwood Road and Ave H, if you think you know who this dog is, contact ACC, ACC updates their lost animal database regularly, you can check online. I don't have a good pic, but he was dark brown with light brown stripes. Email me Aviva1on1@aol.com, if you want to see the photo.
To claim a lost pet at ACC, you must go to the Care Center (the one in Brooklyn is at 2336 Linden Boulevard) and bring proof of ownership, such as a photo of the pet or a veterinarian record.

Elvis the cat has disappeared!

My beloved cat Elvis disappeared 2 weeks ago while I was away. He was last seen on East 18 St. near Foster. He is all black, quite large, very long fur, big bushy tail like a squirrel's, no collar, shy with strangers but affectionate when petted. I am heartbroken.


If you have seen him please contact me by email at aryen@optimum.net.



Thanks.
