Hello!  For those of you who do not know us, we would like to introduce ourselves, we are Danielle Gallagher and Robin Mueller.  We have both been involved with WICCA, with our children, for the last seven, and nine years respectively.  As you may have heard, the current dance and drama programs (WICCA) is being closed at the end of this year's recital.  We are grateful to the Gorey and Bourous families for their dedication over the past ten years, and like you, want to see this wonderful opportunity continue for our children in years to come.

 

We have been working very hard with Miss Janine and Miss Kathryn to establish a new Not-for-Profit organization - West Islip Creative Arts Company, Inc. and, along with it, next year's schedule. It is our hope that this new venture will seamlessly continue to offer our children the quality instruction we are familiar with, at an affordable cost. The current teaching staff is as excited to continue as we are, and the school district's office of Buildings and Grounds has been very supportive of our efforts. They have agreed to hold the time and space at Bayview Elementary while we complete our application process with NYS, (which is almost done!)

 

We know you are anxious to know more details, and we want to be able to get them to you quickly and easily so please make sure that if you did not give Miss Janine your e-mail address and updated contact sheet, you email us, or visit our website to sign up for updates.  We very much appreciate your patience as our website and online registration portal are being constructed. We think you are going to love the ease and simplicity of the electronic communication and easy registration and payment options.

 

We appreciate your loyalty and look forward to working with you for years to come.  We are very excited to have a wonderful schedule lined up for the fall, and will be posting it later in the week.  As in the past, we are appreciative of any volunteers who are willing to help out, and we ask that those interested please feel free to reach out to us. We welcome your input and support.  

 

We expect to follow up with our online registration announcement soon, and in the meantime invite you to visit our website and bookmark it!  (We will also arrange a date for registration at school for those who are unable to access the site.)   In the meantime, please feel free to contact us with any questions, concerns or suggestions you may have.

 

We appreciate your continued participation and cooperation, and look forward to working with you in the years to come.  (And you can help us out by forwarding this message to your friends, family and neighbors.!)

 

Most Sincerely,

Danielle Gallagher                               Robin Mueller
