THINK OF THE CHILDREN - My daughter Fiona sings in a children's choir called The Bel Canto Children's Chorus. They are currently raising money for a musical trip to Europe where they will sing in Amsterdam, Belgium and Germany. If you would like to help with this worthy cause, please go to their Go Fund Me page: https://www.gofundme.com/belcantochildren Thank you for your help.
Well, that's about it for now.
Hippie Holidays!
