Who Has “Happy Feet?”

Greetings! New York Family would like to invite you to
a special screening of “Happy Feet” – special because it’s a chance for you and
your children to share a great Saturday morning while supporting a wonderful
organization that helps families afford adoptions. —

Please take a minute to get to know Helpusadopt.org, and
its inspiring founder—NYC mom Becky Fawcett. Since its launch in 2007, they have helped to build 50 families with $360,000 in
awarded adoption grants. And will be rewarding another $60,000 in December of
this year. Think of the joy behind those numbers and think about how you can
help.

Details: Helpusadopt.org’s Annual Family Fun Day at the Movies
will take place on Saturday, Nov. 19, from 9:30–Noon, at Clearview Cinemas,
at 400 East 62nd
Street (First
Avenue). The screening of “Happy Feet” will begin at 10,
and there will be other entertainment and kid-fun at the
theater.

More info and to register: Visit Helpusadopt.org

Those of you who have adopted, or have friends who have
adopted, know what an emotionally tumultuous and expensive journey it can be. Helpusadopt.org helps both couples and
individuals (regardless of race,
religion, gender, ethnicity, marital status or sexual orientation) with the cost
of their adoptions by awarding grants up to $15,000. They support domestic,
international and foster care adoptions and do not charge applicants to
apply.

Jump in Happy Feet First!

See you at the event.

Thanks,

Buck's Rock Performing and Creative Arts Camp

Buck&rsquo;s Rock Camp is a freedom-of-choice creative and performing arts camp for teenagers ages 10 to 17. Every summer at Buck&rsquo;s Rock is completely different. The campers who join us each year make the summer their own adventure, and the camp constantly evolves and changes to meet the needs of that year&rsquo;s campers. So to answer the question &ldquo;What is Buck&rsquo;s Rock?&rdquo; is simple: it is a safe space where young people can grow into whatever they want and need to be.&nbsp; The day at Buck&rsquo;s Rock starts at 7:30am and ends at 10:15pm. What happens in between is as varied as our campers and as friendly as our beautiful campus. Every day at Buck&rsquo;s Rock is different. What doesn&rsquo;t change: our stunning pastoral setting, committed, professional counselors, and a camper-to-counselor ratio of 2:1.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Every day at Buck&rsquo;s Rock is a new opportunity for self-discovery and creative expression. From the professionally-equipped studios and exciting performance spaces, to the state-of-the-art recording facilities and pool, campers are free to try anything and everything! Over 30 world-class programs await our artists every day, including everything from glassblowing to dance to painting to sketch comedy to radio to weaving to gardening and so much more! &nbsp; Many generations of Buck&rsquo;s Rockers, including campers, their parents, and decades of dedicated staff make up our unique community. Just one summer at Buck&rsquo;s Rock will make you a life-long member of our big, creative family. We can&rsquo;t wait for you to join us! &nbsp; Tiered Tuition System based on gross annual income and household size; $0-$12,000 &nbsp; Age: 10-17 years old &nbsp; &nbsp;
