Animal Lovers' Club Update #4

  Now, the ALC has decided, instead donating the bakesale money to an animal shelter, to donate the money to the World Wildlife Fund. If you are interested in helping out, please contact me or one of the other ALC members. We need all the help we can get!
  A little bonus about donating money to the WWF is that, depending on how much money you raise, they will reward you with STUFFED ANIMALS!!! If we raise enough money, we will have a choice to either each get our own stuffed animals, or to get one big polar bear to be the ALC's mascot!
  Just one last thing: we are planning on having the bakesale around Thanksgiving. We will keep you updated, and remember, feel free to contact us!

The Queen

Halloween 2010

  Everybody, kids in particular, is excited for Halloween, which happens to be tonight. For Halloween this year, I am being Cleopatra (not the historic figure, actually, the Shakespearean character.) I am going to go Trick-Or-Treating with my friend Gabby.
  No doubt about it, Brooklyn is one of the best places for Halloween. There are dozens of haunted houses, as well as piles full of candy, and there's even more. Many people put out inflatables (such as spiders and pumpkins) in their front yards!

Animal Lovers' Club Update #3

  The ALC is currently preparing for our bakesale, which will probably be sometime next month. Just so you know, the bakesale will be held in the ALC president Gabby's backyard.
   We are brainstorming types of possible food. Since all the money from the bakesale is being donated to a local animal shelter, the treasurer Nika thought that we may sell some dog treats, as well as "human" food.

My Messed Up Dress

  Last night was another performance of La Boheme at the Metropolitan Opera House. It was an unusual performance, for sure.
  It was unusual because my dress ripped. It all started out as a little hole. My skirt is really long, so people kept on stepping on it by mistake. By the end of the opera, my dress was all in rags!
  There are a lot of stairs on the set, so I kept on tumbling down them. The funny thing, though, was that I didn't notice until I was changing back into my street clothes. While on stage, I just thought that my shoes were untied, or something!

La Boheme Opening Night

  Last night was opening night of La Boheme at the Metropolitan Opera House. For those of you, viewers, who don't know, I sing in the Metropolitan Opera House in the Childrens' Chorus.
  Opening night went very well. The cool part about La Boheme is that they have real food on the stage, like bagels, lollipops, and peppermints (by the way, you can actually eat the peppermints.)
  I appear in two acts of the opera: Act Two and Act Three. Act Two is the act in which the children sing, and Act Three is just acting.

Animal Lovers' Club Update #2

  At the moment, the Animal Lovers' Club is brainstorming different foods that would be appropriate for our bake sale fundraiser for the animal shelters. If you have any ideas, feel free to tell us. We always love help!
  We haven't created an official date for our bake sale. We are thinking about having it in two or three months so that we can have time to prepare. Thank you everyone for your support!

Animal Lovers' Club Update #1

  Hello! The Animal Lovers' Club is a club made up of me, Mireille, Gabby, and Nika. Gabby is the president, I am the vice-president, Nika is the treasurer, and Mireille is the public advertiser. The Animal Lovers' Club strives to help animals and stop them from becoming endangered.

Fairway Market

  Every Sunday I go to Fairway with my dad for our weekly shopping. This serves as our father-daughter time. Going to Fairway is really fun because they always have lots of samples to try.
  After the shopping is finished, my dad and I stop in the cafe to grab a snack. I love going to fairway with my dad.
