The community at Hochstein is so warm and welcoming- seeing our friends at "the orange music school" has quickly become my little one's favorite part of the week. There are so many class options for our love of music and dance to grow! Rochester is so lucky to have such top tier (and affordable) institutions like Hochstein!

Went recently for Alice In OrchestraLand, and it was amazing, and well executed, which great song selections. If you have never been here, take a look at their upcoming offerings, and check it out. You won't be disappointed!

I've been here twice.... and I love it here! I always see Cathy Miller. She is amazing. I know…read morethere are skeptics out there, but I am a believer. Cathy was quite accurate in some things she said to me. My loved ones who came through... there was no way Cathy could know about any of them. You don't even give your last name when you make an appointment so they can't "google" you ahead of time. Many of the things she said were true, and many have also come to fruition. She's soft spoken and in no way theatrical. I've felt so much better after leaving the Purple Door. Questions were answered and I've felt more a peace, as I needed closure on some things. I highly recommend Purple Door if you are at all curious about psychic mediums. You won't be disappointed.

She has helped me grow as a person, an actor, and an artist. I gained confidence I never even knew I had. As well as helping me prepare for my college auditions (I am currently an acting student at Emerson College), Cara was, and continues to be an extremely influential piece of my life. She has taught me how to find the perfect cut of songs and monologues, what to wear to an audition and how to act in an audition. She also has allowed me to be able to take constructive criticism which is essential for going into a career in the arts. I cannot recommend Cara enough!

The American Red Cross, you may know them for their blood drives however they provide so much more…read morein services. Today I was at this office to attend multiple training's for the disaster services team. As a volunteer we can deploy when called to communities impacted by a variety of disasters. The recent Polar Vortex in WNY, shelters were opened and guess what, people are needed to provide assistance to those seeking shelters. The big hurricane or earthquake in another state or country, guess what volunteers from the Red Cross go down to provide assistance. That is people from your community giving their time to help those most in need. Other services the Red Cross provides include Sound the Alarm. This is a program where you can submit a request, no questions asked. (no income requirements, rental, homeowners, etc) Disaster Services volunteers and other trained volunteers will come to your home and install free smoke alarms into your home. These NEW alarms that follow the NYS guidelines (that change April 2019) have a 10 year lifespan and LED batteries that you are not required to change out every 6 months. Do you want to learn more how to be prepared for a natural disaster? How about a man-made disaster? Concerned on what actions to take with an active shooter? The Disaster Services volunteers offer a program, put together by NYS to teach you and your community how to prepare. Concerned about fire safety and your children? Disaster Services can come into your school or community center to teach the Pillowcase Program, a Disney sponsored, kid-friendly, kid-designed fire safety program and guess what, that isn't everything. You can CPR certification training, lifeguard training, babysitting and even a store so you can buy a fully stocked first act or other supplies you may need in the event of an emergency. So continue to give blood, there is always a need if that is your thing but also remember there are so many other ways you can help your community as well.
