In that meeting, we discussed teaming up with them in the future for collaborative programming ...and really just continuing a dialog as we feel like they have great ideas worth hearing/sharing.
To note: We first saw one of their youth groups perform on stage at the Duke Energy Convention Center last year, for an event promoting children's health & awareness ...and have been following them ever since. So, when we noticed they were holding a show at Cincinnati State last week to promote their upcoming anniversary celebration, we felt the need to attend their event and personally introduce ourselves.
In a nutshell, this is an extremely positive and energetic group of (primarily) young leaders bridging gaps throughout urban communities in Cincinnati through dance, music, audio-production and visual arts. And it just so happens, they are gearing up to celebrate their sixth year (of doing the right thing) THIS THURSDAY, MARCH 10th at the 20th Century Theatre (3021 Madison Road), here in Cincinnati. So we thought it would only be right to let you all know about this vibrant group that's keeping kids off of the street with their inspirational programming. (During our meeting, we were actually given the opportunity to enjoy original music produced, written and performed by a group of ambitious teenagers).
Their upcoming event is called Elementz presents: Don't Fear The Unknown ...and frankly, we hope that you won't. Tickets are affordable and available at a host of locations detailed on their site at:
http://elementz.org/wp/ and http://www.elementz.org/tickets
...so please don't be shy. You may learn something!
Plus, more is on their facebook page at:

Also, if you've been following this blog for a while, you may remember This Post (Link), which continues to give us hope into what's to come!
Thanks again,
