Winter is finally over.....

Celebrate the Spring Cleaning of Fuller Park's fabulously stripped and varnished floors in all the gyms, auditorium, fitness center and more! Also while waiting for the little ones to finish classes why not get your own calorie burn and loose some weight in 2008 at our Fuller Fitness Center.

You know ..... Ain't nothin to it but to do it and the price is so right! Speak to any of the Park Staff or conveniently register and pay online.


BON VOYAGE MESI WALTON: 

She is in Venezeula for the remainder of 2008 with additional South American destinations on her list of places to persue her African Diaspora Cultural Arts study! We look forward to the stories and of course to her safe return. She had such a loving send off from us and from her New Concept/Betty Shabazz and all she connected with here in Chi - Town. We plan to forward photo and possibly film clips while she is away. If anyone has the opportunity and willingness to facilitate some or all of this please let me know.   


HEY - WHO WILL TEACH IN PLACE OF MESI? 
WELCOME MAMA VAUNE "CHARLES" BLALOCK

Teens & Tweens begin at 10:30am starting 4/5/2008


UPCOMING PERFORMANCES

There are some exciting performances coming up in the month of April. I must say they are impressive and require a bit of special consideration. these are not the gigs we can be casual about the children's participation so be clear about the logistics of each event and the required rehearsals as listed below.

    AFRICANS IN ALLIANCE 
    750 South Halsted Avenue in the Illinois Room on the 2nd floor;
    Moonlight w/ Masque

  • APRIL 12 departing University of Wisconsin at Plattsville, times tba - Moonlight, Ekonkon & more

SUNDAY REHEARSAL SCHEDULE IS BACK: NOON UNTIL 2:30PM AT FULLER PARK.

  • PARKING FOR SUNDAY REHEARSAL  If you would like to get into the park for parking you must arrive by 11:30am as the 45TH STREET GATE will be open for whomever is there to drive in. We must consider that the church is taking most of the street parking and so Dr. Brown has approved a "group" parking privilege to ALYO on Sundays.
