What beautiful weather …

Some exciting news!
#1  Moo Moo Musica has been chosen to participate in a NICKELODEON PARENT’S PICK AWARDS program. We’d love your help with this if you feel so inclined!

Apparently, there are two parts to it, getting enough nominations and then, once in the Top 5, getting enough votes!

NOMINATION:
First, we have to be nominated by voters in a quick online nomination process.  In order to go on to the next step, we must receive enough “nomination votes” to be in the Top 5.
The website link is……..

http://www.parentsconnect.com/parents-picks/los-angeles-ca-usa/best-los-angeles-party-entertainer

Scroll down to find Moo Moo Musica and click on it! You will be asked to register with Parents Connect but this is a quick process.
YOU CAN VOTE EVERY DAY UNTIL JUNE 15th!

Please pass this along to friends who have been to our classes or birthday parties.

Thank you so much for your help!
We’ll certainly let you know the results once we find out!

#2   There will be Moo Moo class on Monday, MEMORIAL DAY @ 9:30am!

Electric Lodge
1416 Electric Ave., Venice, 90291

Perfect weather for the LA Marathon runners today!

They’ll be finishing the race at the SANTA MONICA PIER (some I’m sure have already finished!) all day long. There’ll be festivities there at the Pier ALL DAY LONG, mostly on the North side…bands, food, all sorts of fun, etc.

Well, MOO MOO MUSICA has partnered with HEAL THE BAY and they are in turn partnered with the LA MARATHON so….we’ll be at the SM Pier as well (SOUTH SIDE – Where it will be a bit quieter) all afternoon till about 6 pm.

If you enjoy the beach and crowds please join us at our tents for YOGA classes, beach clean-up (and prizes!). We’re encouraging people to bring their stashed ONE-TIME-USE PLASTIC BAGS for beach clean-ups and we’ll use them in out future clean-ups. Prizes will be given for the most amount of bags brought in. We’ll be continuing this for several months so you can bring the bags into Moo Moo classes at the Electric Lodge or UCLA Family Commons during class times…please! OR join us for one of our next HEAL THE BEACH Clean-ups IN APRIL and MAY!

A warning about PARKING today…this is first year the LA Marathon has arranged this sort of event and they expect Huge crowds. Walk, Bike or Stroll in if possible!

A very BIG …

THANK YOU TO SM COOP, ONE LIFE MARKET, FU-YOGA and SANTA MONICA YOGA for their generous donations of time and prizes for today’s event.

Cheers to all, JulieAnne Searles, MFT

1. CLASS ON MONDAY, 1/18
Yes… there will definitely be class on Monday, January 18th @ 9:30am.

2. HAITI RELIEF Many ways to help..
We would like to help Haiti by donating Moo Moo Musica T-shirts for sale during the next week of class. The money we receive will be donated to ARTISTS FOR PEACE and JUSTICE. (www.artistsforpeaceandjustice.org) 100% of donations given to this organization actually reaches those in need. On the board are artists such as Oliver Stone, Charlize Theron, and Diane Lane.

There are many other organizations doing excellent work; Doctors Without Borders, Operation USA (www.opusa.org), Partners in Health (www.pih.org) are some examples. You can deliver gently used shoes to Sport Chalet (or bring them to class and we’ll take them for you) and “SOLES 4 SOULS” will deliver them to Haiti next month.  Sport Chalet will take donations until Jan. 31st.

3. PENNIES FOR PEACE (Greg Mortenson, Three Cups of Tea and Stones Into Schools)
We are, of course, still collecting pennies…(over $650 worth so far!) for schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Most of the schools are for girls as the Taliban do not allow them to be educated.
SEE GREG MORTENSON ON PBS with Bill Moyers to understand what this incredible organization is doing. http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/01152010/watch2.html You can also hear Greg speak on Tuesday, Feb. 2nd, 7:00-8:15pm at Loyola Marymount.  It’s FREE, however, you need to make a reservation. (lmu.edu then go to the Community Section)
Thank you so much to all of you who have brought in pennies and dollars, and/or bought our donated juices and slippers.  It really does add up! 1 penny buys a pencil, 1 dollar buys an entire month of aducation for a child. An amazingly simple way to help our little sisters in these two countries.

4.  NEW CLASSES at UCLA Family Commons in Santa Monica!
Moo Moo Musica is honored to have been invited to this beautiful new center in Santa Monica on 2nd and Wilshire (right across from First Presbyterian Preschool).  We will be starting the first week of February and will post the completed schedule on our website very soon.

5.  New BIRTHDAY PARTY COORDINATOR!
Kathryn Farren, who co-teaches our John Muir Elementary music program,  has happily taken on the role of Birthday Party Coordinator.  She can help with all aspects of planning from finding spaces (not always easy on the Westside) to helping with which activites/songs would be most fun and memorable for your little ones special day! Welcome Kathryn!!

Happy 2010,
JulieAnne & The Moo Moo Musica Team
