Join us at Westland City Hall for a FREE Back to Schoo Bash hosted by the Westland Alliance For the Arts and TDA Friday, September, 15th 5-8 PM.

And PLEASE SHARE THE ATTACHED FLYER WITH ANY SCHOOL GROUPS YOUR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS ARE A PART OF! WE WANT EVERYONE TO HEAR ABOUT IT AND TAKE PART IN THE FESTIVITIES!

We are also LOOKING FOR SOME VOLUNTEERS to assist with TDA’s carnival game tables as well as the event as a whole.  If you or your responsible 16 & up teenager are interested in representing your studio or would like to help the non-profit out as well, please let Miss Amber know by responding to this email ASAP!  Mature, responsible 12 & up students may volunteer as well with their parents AND MISS AMBER’S APPROVAL.  And since WAA is a non-profit, it may count towards service hours if needed for school programs!  Find out, and we’ll be happy to fill out your forms.  Contact Miss Amber for Westland Arts volunteering as well.

I hope to see all of you and many of your friends there! Don’t forget to pass the attached flyer and/or the Facebook event that can be found on our Facebook page along to all your friends!
