For the last 2 circles of the year we have to switch to the 3rd Fridays. There are other NAA events on the 4th Fridays, just not only drumming. We sure to check those out at: http://www.newarkartsalliance.org/

This is the last 4th Friday Drum Event at the NAA. Stay tuned for other drumming events in Dec, and into next year. http://www.delawarebellydance.org/drum.html

This event is free, but we will ask for people to join the NAA (can we say tax deduction) and/or donate to the NAA. We are not charged rent, so all money goes to support the non-profit.



Also, check out the Indonesian Cultural Club (ICC) benefit event to raise funds for the earthquake victims in Indonesia. Hundreds are still missing and buried under the collapsed buildings. Sunday, November 22, 2009, at the Newark Senior Center 2:30 PM
