Featuring singing, dancing and workshops and celebrating the rich cultural traditions of the African American community and Alvin Ailey. It’ll be an awesome day for the whole family and we really hope to see the many faces of LA come out to it. However, aside from just showing up and having a great time, they’re asking families to do some preregistration for workshops. Parents and kids can come away with a beautiful story quilt or fan. Similar to the World City programming, they will hold visual arts workshops in addition to all of the great dancing and singing. Because they expect (hope) many people to turn out, they want families to preregister.

Prototypes: A Brunch Benefitting Women & Children in Need
Sat., May 4th at L’Ermitage BH


Most low-income mothers seeking treatment for addiction, mental illness and domestic abuse face a heartbreaking choice: Give up their children to a guardian or foster care and get help, or stay with their families and continue to suffer. Yet studies show that mothers who receive family-centered treatment have increased rates of post-treatment sobriety. For more than 25 years, Prototypes has pioneered the way addiction is treated by allowing mothers to stay with their children through recovery. Prototypes operates from 13 sites in CA, annually providing 12,000 women, children and communities with life-saving counseling, treatment & critical life skills.
