News from Azalea Blossom
We are so overjoyed to finally announce that Azalea Blossom, Incorporated’s new website will be up and running on Sunday, March 8th to coincide with both International Women’s Day and Azaleation Day. You will now be able to learn more about the SAFE through the Arts program’s new focus into kindergarten and pre-K classrooms as well as read up on the newly re-vamped Bricks in the Wall shelter project. We are grateful for Dan Vidali of Tone Creative for his hard work on the site and hope that you will be visiting both our new site and other sites, which he and his partner Arielle have created for Upstate New York businesses. www.AzaleaBlossom.com
