Project HOPES (Healthy Outcomes through Prevention and Early Support) is a collaboration of four community organizations: Any Baby Can, Easter Seals, Safe Place and Strong Start. We offer parent education home visits using Triple P curriculum (Positive Parenting Program). This program is a free of charge, partially funded by the State of Texas, and other non-profit agencies. Triple P is offer in individually or in a group setting, in English or Spanish. Individual sessions can be done in office, your home, or a convenient local meeting place.

Easter Seals will have the Stepping Stones version of the curriculum, which is specifically developed for families that have children with special needs. The program is focused on parents with children under the age of five, or pregnant mothers. However, here at Easter Seals we have one staff member that works parents with kids of all ages.
Families that feel stressed, overwhelmed, pressured by the challenges of being a parent, or that lack support are invited to join us! Please contact Betty Avila at BAvila@eastersealstx.org.

Come connect with other parents that understand the joys and challenges of raising children with unique needs. This group is open to all parents and caretaker of children with special needs in the Austin area.

Try something different this Holiday Season – be a singing Elf!
Get Social…Get Singing!

Ready to start? Come and visit Cradle of Texas Chorus in Sugar Land Thursday September 8th, 2016, where you will receive a great welcome, and join the fun.
Chorus practice is Thursday evenings in the Choir Room at Christ Church, 3300 Austin Parkway, Sugar Land TX 77479
Come and try us out for a few months (for free) with our ‘Christmas Elf Program’, and learn some Christmas music which you will perform with us during the Holiday season. You will get some great musical education as well as a lot of fun and new friends.
Regular Chorus practice is 7pm-9 pm, but Elf practice would be just 7-8 pm each week.
Sheet music and learning CDs are provided, so it is not necessary to be able to read music, just carry a tune.

Cradle of Texas is part of the Sweet Adelines International organization for women who sing Barbershop style. This is unaccompanied a cappella harmonizing in four parts.
As an Elf, you would learn the barbershop craft of singing, make new friends, share the gift of song with the community, and have fun!

There are other benefits too!
Studies have found that singing can boost your immune system and mental sharpness, increase happiness, and reduce anxiety.
It’s good for the mind and body. So, in other words, it keeps you young and certainly young at heart!

You can’t wait to start now?

Feed the need for musical hilarity with this screamingly funny, gleefully twisted, out-of-this-world hit musical. Little Shop has devoured the hearts of theatre goers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast, and Aladdin) are the creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the world. Seymour is a nerdy floral clerk with a knack for plants, and one peculiar plant he’s tending might just be his ticket to fame, fortune – and the girl of his dreams. There’s only one teeny, but growing, problem: This plant has an unquenchable thirst for the red stuff (type O, A, or B… he’s not picky) and Seymour ultimately discovers what this foul-mouthed, soul-singing, otherworldly carnivore is up to. Mixing Motown, B-movies, and The American Dream, Little Shop is a deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical. August 19 – September 11. Thursday – Saturday 8:00 pm. Sunday 3:00 pm. TKTS 512-524-2870 or e-mail info@citytheatreaustin.org. www.citytheatreaustin.org

Let the mischief and merriment begin in this sizzling summer reimagining of Shakespeare’s most popular romantic comedy. In just one fantastic enchanted forest night, four magical stories are cleverly woven together: the marriage of the Athenian duke to the Amazon queen; the battle of the king and queen of the fairies; the lust and lunacy of four young lovers; and the hilarious antics of side-show actors who must stage a most important play. Enter a vibrant and bawdy world where fairies fly, a donkey bursts into song, and irresistible spells make your perspective on love turn on a dime. City Theatre’s summer production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be an original and way-out theatrical experience you don’t want to miss. June 24 – July 17. Thursday – Saturday 8:00 pm. Sunday 3:00 pm. Ticktets $10 – $25. For reservations, call 512-524-2870 or e-mail info@citytheatreaustin.org. www.citytheatreaustin.org

Austin’s own Soul of a Musician Series is excited to announce a stellar fall lineup kicking off on Sunday, Sept. 11 featuring a live performance by beloved blues and soul artist Nakia. The Soul of a Musician Series brings the community together to support the spiritual and emotional well-being of a featured musician and gain insight into their creative process and growth. Taking place at the Agave Room at Iron Cactus North Restaurant located at 10001 Stonelake Blvd., Austin, Texas 78759, the series is free and open to the public and perfect for an intimate date night, a relaxed family outing or just a fun place to meet new people and get inspired. Music starts at 6:30 p.m., but attendees are encouraged to arrive earlier for best seating or to enjoy a delicious dinner and drinks. This season, the series will feature performances from some of the city’s local favorites and some new, up-and-coming artists that are fresh to the scene. The first half of the fall lineup is as follows:

Sept. 11 – Nakia
Sept.18 – Warren and Marshall Hood Sept. 25 – WhoDo
Oct. 2 – John Evans Band
Oct. 9 – Guy Forsyth’s Hot Nut Riveters
Oct. 16 – Cotton Mather
Oct. 23 – Jeremy Nail
Oct. 30 – Jane Ellen Bryant
*Second half of fall lineup to be announced

“I’ve heard so many wonderful things about the Soul of a Musician Series from my fellow Austin musicians who have played there, so I was very excited to be asked to perform the kickoff to the fall season,” said Nakia. “I’m looking forward to sharing some of the stories behind the songs I love to write and sing.”

Now in its fourth year, the goal of the Soul Series is to bring Austin’s musicians and music lovers together through an intimate, non-denominational musical encounter that leads to deeper emotional connection between the artists, their music and the community that supports them.

“In February of 2013, St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church launched The Soul of a Musician Series as a means of engaging musicians in Austin with a different kind of show. We wanted to have a conversation with the musicians, and to offer them a house of receptive and attentive listeners. As for the church, we want to be out in the public meeting people!” said the Series Founder Rev. Merrill Wade. “Now, four years and 118 Sunday night shows later, the series has found a niche in the Austin music scene. What began as a small-scale concert idea has matured into a dependably excellent Sunday night show in the perennially underserved Northwest Austin music scene.”
