Sounds scary (and was a little nerve-wracking), but is actually a great event!  And at this week’s BlobLive Open Mic Philly, Nicole spoke about Indigenous Pitch.

She told the audience about our programs.  Then, mentioned that our problem was, we simply couldn’t staff or fund all of the programs we have been asked to provide and want to provide!  The group of small-business owners, non-profit founders, entrepreneurs of all types gave great feedback and ideas!  Thank you both in-house commenters, and those on the live Twitter feed!

KYW also did an interview with Nicole, so hopefully that will be on the air soon!

For all of you supporters in the Delaware County Area:

Come visit Indigenous Pitch at Haverford Township Day on Saturday, October 3rd!  We will have a booth at the Skatium from 10AM-4PM.  We will be selling once or never used costumes for $5!  With Halloween on the horizon, we are a great place to shop!

If you can donate costumes (once or never worn) or accessories (same), please deliver them to First Position Dance Arts by 5PM on Friday October 2nd.

If you have any free standing garment racks that we could use to display the costumes, please deliver them to First Position Dance Arts by 5PM on Friday October 2nd.

If you could donate 1 hour of your time on Saturday October 3rd, between the hours of 10AM and 4PM, please contact Nicole at nicole@indigenouspitch.org immediately.

And, if you make it out, be sure to check out Lisa’s Zumba class at Brookline and Darby from 3:30-4!

Thanks!
