Here's a recent update on what's happening with the great people we hire on our staff. (Older news toward the bottom.)
One of our long-time staff members, volunteers and supporters Joshua Park was featured on WXPN's "Morning Download". Go there today and check out the great music. You should also buy this album as it's simply fantastic. Please also tell XPN you like the song at: www.xpn.org/requests/index.php
Dave Sweeny is performing in a caberet as the "convener and host" Johnny Showcase. Here are the details:
A Christmas Revenge:
The Lefty Lucy Cabaret at World Cafe Live!

Our After School Program went to AirPlay Trapeze to learn how to be circus-makers! Thanks to AirPlay and Shana for making this happen! (Shana also was a donor to our annual Auction for Collaborative Arts this year!)
Creigh (rhymes with "Lee") was born at 1:38 pm on Sunday, October 21, 2007 after 10 hours of labor. He weighs 8lb, 5 oz and is extremely happy and healthy (I've only heard him cry twice.) He really seems to be doing well and he's so cute - full head of hair.
Sarah and Dave are both doing well. Sarah gave birth completely naturally - which is quite a feat - especially for this hospital! (The nurses were really impressed.) She is at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in the Silverstein section, Room 810. They will be here until Tuesday and coming home Tuesday night.
After School has begun. Click here to learn how to sponsor a child in our literacy through the arts program.
Current and former Y!A staff members who performed in this year's FRINGE festival include: Anna Sweeny, Dave Sweeny, Kate DeRosa, Megan Hoke, Robb Rineer, and Deanna Downes. Congratulations!
What a summer it's been for us here at Yes! And... Scott and Jake bought a house, Michael and Michelle almost bought a house (they eventually did), Brooke got a puppy, Scott and Jake got another puppy, one of our after school sites burned down (see below), Dave and Sarah were pregnant, Joanna and Mike moved to North Carolina, we put on a couple of fantastic camps and shows. And, oh yeah, one of our co-directors, Meg got MARRIED! Whew!
It was a wonderful wedding, complete with Yes! And... touches all over the place. The wedding took place at Meg and Kevin's church, Trinity Baptist. Planning and design was done by Gather, a new company Jake is involved with. Brooke, Michelle, Michael, Sarah, and Dave all sang. There were campers at the wedding and reception. It was a great time and the couple was lovely and blessed. Congratulations and best of times to Meg and Kevin!
