I just love taking my kiddos out for one on one time but I'm always looking for inexpensive ways to do fun things with them. Luckily, MJR has released its list of FREE films for kiddos to see {just $1 per adult} this fall season. There are a few listed my kiddos would be absolutely thrilled to see so I'm making note of them now!

See the attached press release for details on film titles, dates, and locations.

If you're looking for a way for your whole family to get involved in giving to a greater cause {while having fun at the same time}, consider the Tomorrow's Child Jungle Jubilee taking place in August and September. For details, please see the flyer attached below and the details they've sent me to share with you.

It looks like a great time!
~~

Information about the Jungle Jubilee and Tomorrow’s Child

Tomorrow’s Child is excited to present the 1st Annual Jungle Jubilee on Sunday, August 11 at the Detroit Zoo. We invite you to join us for a family fun day for all to enjoy. In addition to everything the zoo has to provide, we will have various children activities, light refreshments, and our long standing traditional walk featuring a kid friendly scavenger hunt incorporated into the Jungle Jubilee!

Tomorrow’s Child originally began as a grassroots effort by families coming together with one unfortunate common interest, the death of an infant. Almost 20 years later, Tomorrow’s Child continues to provide services and programs throughout the state to save babies lives and support families who have experienced a pregnancy loss or infant death. Through community partnerships and personal outreach, Tomorrow’s Child touches the life of every newborn in Michigan. We engage families, health professionals and caregivers to keep babies healthy and safe. We also provide grief support to anyone affected by a miscarriage, stillbirth or infant death.  

Despite aggressive efforts to reduce the infant mortality rate in Michigan, last year over 800 babies did not survive to their first birthday and 500 were stillborn. This translates to more than four deaths every day this year in Michigan.  While Michigan is one of the most progressive, industrialized states in the union, our infant mortality rate ranks among the worst in the nation.

Your participation in this event will allow Tomorrow’s Child to continue to advance its efforts in outreach. Last year alone, we distributed over 240,000 safe sleep materials and provided grief support for 400 families.

Register online now at www.tomorrowschildmi.org. You tax deductible donation of $35 for adults and $15 for children under 12 gets you free admission and parking to the Detroit Zoo for the day and the many other activities being offered by Tomorrow’s Child until 12 noon. Please register online by August 1. Check in for the event will start at 7:15 am on Sunday, August 11 with opening ceremonies and the walk commencing at 8:30 am. Please feel free to contact us at 800-331-7437 with any questions.

Have you purchased your tickets yet? Don't miss the Broadway production of Beauty And The Beast coming to Detroit in April!!

Here are more details.

The smash hit Broadway musical plays Detroit’s Fisher Theater

April 10 - 22

Tickets on sale Sunday, November 27!

Detroit, MI, November 17, 2011 – Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, the award-winning worldwide smash hit Broadway musical, is coming to Detroit as part of the 2011-2012 Broadway In Detroit Subscription Season.  Produced by NETworks Presentations, this elaborate theatrical production will come to life on stage at the Fisher Theatre April 10 – 22.Tickets for the Detroit performance of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast will go on sale Sunday, November 27  at 10 a.m. at the Fisher Theatre box office, all Ticketmaster locations, by phone at 1-800-982-2787, and online atwww.ticketmaster.com or www.broadwayindetroit.com.

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast features the animated film’s Academy Award®-winning score with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by the late Howard Ashman, with additional songs with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Tim Rice. Thebook is written by Linda Woolverton.

The original creators of the Broadway production are together again for this new touring production! The play is directed by Rob Roth and choreographed by Matt West, with Costume Design by Ann Hould-Ward (Tony Award® winner for her work on Disney’s Beauty and the Beast), Lighting Design by Natasha Katz, Scenic Design by Stanley A. Meyer, Sound Design by John Petrafesa Jr. and Music Supervision by Michael Kosarin.

Director Rob Roth: “It has been wonderful to bring the entire original design team back together to work on this new production of Beauty and the Beast. As a director, it is rare to have the opportunity to revisit your work fifteen years later. Hopefully I’ve grown and developed as an artist, along with my collaborators, and we can bring 15 years of experience to this new production. We have remained very close as a team over the years of producing the show around the world, and it has been so much fun getting together to re-explore and re-inventthe show for this new NETworks tour.  The theme of ‘Beauty’ is about seeing past the exterior into the heart of someone, and this is reflected in the design for the show, which is about transparency and layers, seeing past one thing and into another.”

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is the classic story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped in a spell placed by an enchantress.  If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will endand he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast has become an international sensation that has played to over 35 million people worldwide in 21 countries.

Winner of 35 major awards, including the Grammy Award and three Tony Awards, Wicked is the untold story of the witches of Oz. Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and popular. Wicked tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, and how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.

Declared “The Best Musical of the Decade” by Entertainment Weekly and “A Cultural Phenomenon” byVariety, Wicked is based on the novel by Gregory Maguire and has music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman.

“The Wicked partnership builds on successful promotions done at several other Taubman centers,” says Twelve Oaks General Manager Dan Jones.  “We’re delighted to be bewitched by Wicked this holiday season.”

Through Nov. 6, Twelve Oaks Mall has some terrifically Wicked offers that can’t be found anywhere else.  The spellbinding specials include:

            • “The World of Wicked” display in the mall’s Lord & Taylor Court from Oct. 14 through Nov. 6, where visitors can walk through Glinda the Good’s bubble, view the “Behind the Emerald Curtain” museum display and take a photo in Oz;

            • The “Passport to Oz,” featuring special offers from more than 50 stores and restaurants, including Aéropostale, Bare Escentuals, Betsey Johnson, Brighton Collectibles, California Pizza Kitchen, Crabtree & Evelyn, Godiva Chocolatier, Lord & Taylor, PANDORA, Tapper’s Diamonds & Fine Jewelry, Tin Fish, Tricho Salon & Spa, White House│Black Market and many more.  Passports are available at Glinda’s bubble in the Lord & Taylor Court and at the Customer Service Centers;

            • Weekly drawings for Wicked prizes from stores including The Body Shop, Coldwater Creek, Jessica McClintock, Lord & Taylor, Origins and others.  Drawings take place Mondays, Oct. 17, Oct. 24, Oct. 31 and Nov. 7.

• Giveaways courtesy of the Wicked Street Team, who will visit the mall every Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout the event to hand out free Wicked-themed products such as lip balm, picture frames, music downloads and more.
