Amani Gathering is any event where people come together to learn about
and support Amani ya Juu. Gatherings are hosted throughout the United
States by volunteers who receive boxes of products to sell to their
friends, family, and communities.
A gathering could take place in
your home, at school, with a civic organization, through a church, or
any other venue you can imagine! It is a unique way to share about the
women of Amani and how the organization is helping to rebuild lives and
communities. Amani products provide a natural way to bring people
together and bring awareness to a wonderful cause. Each Amani Gathering
is unique, but we provide presentation materials and information for you
to share the mission and story of Amani ya Juu with others.
Want to
share our mission of peace and beautiful products with your community? The
Amani women at each African center are excited about their new 2013
products and would like to invite you to share them with your friends.

Laugh, Sing, and Dance, Dance, Dance April 10 – May 5, 2013
Thoroughly Modern Millie—winner of the Tony and Drama Desk awards for
Best Musical—is an effervescent musical romp that will have you dancing
the Charleston. It's the Roaring Twenties, and young Millie Dillmount
has just arrived in New York City, a place filled with frisky flappers,
dashing leading men, and a dragon lady of a villainess. Wonderfully
funny with fabulous music and raise-your-eyebrows dance numbers, it's a
perfectly shaped evening of madcap merriment.
"Millie is happy to provide: tapping feet, glitzy sets and costumes,
happy-ever-afters and smiles for days. The production serves them up in
abundance." —Variety
Paper Mill Playhouse
Offers Brand New PAPER MILL PLAYERS CAMP
No-Audition Summer Theater Camp
for Children Ages 6 to 11
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 5, 2013
(Millburn, NJ) Paper Mill
Playhouse, (Mark S. Hoebee, Producing Artistic Direct; Todd Schmidt,
Managing Director), one of the country’s premier not-for-profit
theaters, is thrilled to announce a new arts education initiative, The
Paper Mill Players Camp. The summer camp is a non-competitive, summer
musical theater workshop in which students can have fun while honing
their acting, singing and dancing skills. The classes will run from July
2nd to July 25th and meet three times a week: Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday. There is a morning session available from 9:30am-12:30pm for
children ages 6-8, and an afternoon session for children ages 9-11.
Classes will be held at the Millburn Library, and tuition is $625.00 for
the four week session.
“We are thrilled to add this
summer program to our Theatre School offerings,” explains Theater School
Director Mickey McNany. “Unlike our highly competitive Summer Musical
Theater Conservatory, the Paper Mill Players Camp has no audition
requirement and students will be enrolled on a first-come, first served
basis. The mission of the Paper Mill Playhouse Theatre School is to
offer an opportunity for any child who has the interest to be able to
work on their performance skills. Even if a child has little interest in
pursuing theater, the camp can provide valuable life skills like
confidence and public speaking. This new summer workshop offers students
to opportunity to get the training they need to be able to bring their
talents to the next level, while at the same time having a summer of
fun.”
“There are so many great skills
that children learn from the arts including social skills,
collaboration, focus and non-verbal communication. We’re delighted to
add this to our summer offerings.” adds Education Director Lisa Cooney.

Magazine Celebrates Start of Third Year by Sponsoring
Designer Irina Shabayeva at Lincoln Center Event
‘Project Runway’ Star Debuts Fall Collection in Coveted
9 PM Slot
(New
York, NY — February 10, 2011)
ho said the
magazine business is dying? Among a handful of thriving
regional publications is New Jersey-based EDGE Magazine,
which started turning heads when it burst onto the scene
in 2009—and made a major statement in the fashion world
tonight as the presenting sponsor of Irina Shabayeva’s
Fall Collection at Lincoln Center in New York.
EDGE
secured the key 9:00 pm slot on opening night of
Fashion Week presented by Mercedes-Benz for Shabayeva, whose work
first won acclaim on Project Runway a year and a half
ago. The celebration moved downtown to the James Hotel,
where the 29-year-old designer was feted at an
after-party held at celebrity Chef David Burke’s rooftop
nightclub, Jimmy’s.
“What EDGE
magazine has accomplished in two years is frankly
astonishing,” says Shabayeva. “It’s an honor to be
associated with a publication that connects with its
readers the way EDGE does—and which brings fashion to
their doorstep.”
The relationship
between magazine and designer began in the summer of
2010. HBO True Blood star
Rutina Wesley offered to model
fashion for EDGE and fell in love with one of Shabayeva’s dresses. The stunning shot made the cover of
EDGE and triggered a surge of interest in the
magazine—in New Jersey and online, where the EDGE website
(EdgeMagOnline.Com) quadrupled its hits overnight.
EDGE is a smart,
sexy suburban lifestyle magazine with a circulation of
75,000, primarily in Central New Jersey. The glossy
oversized publication hits newsstands six times a year
and features an eclectic mix of feature editorial, arts,
food, travel, health & wellness stories and celebrity
interviews (ranging from NBC’s
Brian Williams to soul
diva Gloria Gaynor to fashion icon
Norma Kamali).
EDGE distinguished
itself in a challenging marketplace by shooting its own
fashion each issue. According to managing editor
Mark
Stewart, it’s a gamble that has obviously paid off.
“Our serious
approach to fashion has made people take a serious look
at everything we do,” he explains. “What they find is
consistently surprising and challenging ideas, sometimes
with a raised eyebrow, sometimes with a knowing wink,
but always with an EDGE.”
