We Are More Than You Think

We Are More Than You Think This small organization assembled in November, to begin devising plans with actions on how they can better represent and serve their community.

This organization plans to change the views and stereotypes assumed when the words "Hip Hop" crosses your path, by representing on the local level showing the true over whelming values of family, life and love for the community.

We have offered to bring fresh fruit. So pick up bunches of bananas, bags of apples, oranges, grapes, kiwi, cherries, melons, ..........
Let's make this a positive & fun event for these kids. It isn't going to take a lot of your time.

Feb 28th
On Feb 28th we will be hosting a dance at Matheny-Withrow. T.J. Byrd will be our dj for the event (thanks Jr. for stepping up). We will be hosting the dance from 2:30-3:10. It would be great to have as many of you there to hang out & talk with the kids & get them dancing.
I'd also love to provide some healthy snacks for them while the dance is going on. Grapes, apples, baby carrots.....
Let me know if you'd be down with picking up something.
Have also talked to the principle about a hip hop healthy eating event sometime in the future also.
We need as many people there as we can get. Let me know if you can make it.
Good things are happening.

I have a lot of good news to pass along.
The principle is very excited about us wanting to adopt their school.
The would actually like us to have a group meeting with them about us becoming mentors. We'd have to be able to come in and meet with a student once a week at lunch time. This is a great chance to have a really positive effect on a kids life.
They would like us to help out with a school dance. Every month at the end of the month the kids get a special party. All we need is a dj & some clean tunes. If we could get that going for Feb 29th that's they day they have open for the dance.
Ronnie Kaszuk with Imagraphics & We Are More Than You Think, will be going into the school on Jan 24th to be a Mystery Motivator. He'll be doing a graffiti demo at to different times that afternoon.
Is anyone able to meet at Bar None at 8 pm next Monday (Jan 16th)?
This is all good stuff everyone.

We are more than you think
Ok everyone we have something big coming up. We have been invited to perform at Matheny-Withrow.
They hope is to have all of hip hop represented at this show.
What we are going to need about 8-10 songs.
So we need you to start working on 1 or 2 songs now. All song MUST be clean. Make them old school, new school, go silly, go positive, whatever angle you want, but it has to be clean. Songs need to stay under 4 minutes.
We'll have a panel of judges to listen & vote on who get to perform.
This is for a school full of kids that are gonna go crazy & think everyone there is a superstar. Some kids that need people to noticed & do something great for them.
Date of the performance at Torch Tuesday will be announced in the next few weeks.
Who's gonna step up?!!! Who's gonna do something?!!!
We are hip hop & We Are More Than You Think!!!
