YAPI April News and Notes
by McCoy Genfan (age 11)
YAPI (Young Artist Performance Incubator) is a community service event created and run by Brenda Freed. Recently Brenda has been having the performers, or just plain old kids, run part of the show.   For example kids can volunteer to: MC, photograph the performers, help run the sound, write the newsletter (that's what I'm doing, but others can volunteer also), put up posters around the Wimberley area and help people sign up for YAPI.

If you missed April's YAPI, then you missed the crowd going wild for our first tap dance performance. Read on for all the details.

In April's YAPI we had a slightly smaller crowd than usual but with just the same amount of talent; we had a total of 4 acts and 6 participants including: Savanna Stoltz (10) who started off YAPI by singing, accompanied by Brenda on the piano, McCoy Genfan (11) who read his original writings, Jackson Demaree (13) who tap danced wonderfully and Albanie Felleta who finished off April's YAPI by singing and playing the guitar.   Elisia Hartin (16) was the MC and Eliza Van Overschelde was our trusty photographer.

Notice: Brenda will be gone for the May YAPI and therefore she would like to ask if anyone would like to volunteer for setting up and running the May YAPI. The person running it would need to provide a PA system. If there is no one to volunteer to run the May YAPI then we probably won't have another YAPI until August, since we are taking a summer break from YAPI.

And also remember to go to Maui Wowi   coffee shop for great coffee and smoothies.
