Superheroes in the sky.

Heroes soaring super high.

Batman, Superman, they save us from schemes.

But they’re not heroes

Heroes work behind the scenes…

Hi, LOVE, HALLIE family:

This is our once a year request for a financial contribution to LOVE, HALLIE, and I hope you will consider it.

Hallie’s words at age 10 speak loudly to us now, in this uncertain time when we’re all wondering “what can I do to make a positive change? How can I be a hero?”

There are so many challenges and so many opportunities. How do we choose? And what can we do?

LOVE, HALLIE’s mission has always been about inspiring and providing practical tools for young people to find their path to creating change.

Working with an all volunteer team, LOVE, HALLIE continues to take this on in three ways:

ChangeSpace In partnership with Culture Lab LIC, we are creating a safe, physical space that we hope will be replicated around the world where people who want to be change agents can:

Find inspiration

Learn about causes

Engage with others

Build their skills

Amplify their stories

Connect creativity to their changemaking

Carpe Diem We are using Hallie’s story, words, and art to inspire change agents through

• Books
• Video
• In-person Presentations & Performances
• Exhibits

Hallie’s Angels Our youth-led action groups choose the causes they want to address and decide how to address them to make a better world.

Your financial contribution will enable LOVE, HALLIE in 2025 to conduct ChangeSpace programs at Culture Lab, including the 2025 Better World Festival, to support the creation of additional Hallie’s Angels chapters (we’re excited about the one blossoming at P.S. 11 in Queens!), and to find publishing, distributing, broadcasting, creating, presenting partners to continue to share Hallie’s inspiring messages of love, empathy and action. On that last front, we are delighted that all 64 Queens Public Library branches will have Hallie’s book The Earth, illustrated by Casey Conselmo, on their shelves in 2025.

We make a lot happen with a little – every dollar you contribute by clicking https://lovehallie.networkforgood.com/projects/241513-lhf-2024-campaign or by mailing your contribution to LOVE, HALLIE, 41-15 46th Street, 6S, New York, NY, 11104 makes a profound difference!

Thanks to all of you who have volunteered. There are always many roles to be filled –  let us know if you’d like to play!

Here’s the final line of Hallie’s Superheroes poem —

Heroes aren’t about Batman — 

Who’s a hero? I am!

Stay hopeful, keep loving, and “do something special” every day!

Carpe diem and love,

Ted

We are one human family, whether in the United States or in China or the rest of the world. As a member of this family, we have the responsibility and obligation to make our due contribution to our common home. Only when people all over the world get along with each other and unite together can we realize the good wish of world peace. Although there are many countries and different nationalities in the world, but we have only one Earth! Therefore, we must establish a community of shared future for mankind to truly treat all life is to treat yourself!

Les Inrockuptibles
“Bikers, eccentric girls, tattooed mouths – the Maverick of the animation realize a thriller like Tarantino, virulent and ironic. Completely disturbs and full of humor”

Our annual fashion show is set for June 3rd, right here in Sunnyside Gardens!
In our ninth year, our show celebrates the music of Broadway. Each Broadway shows tell a unique story about humanity, in the form of relationships, social and political issues, our young designers are each telling a unique story or their own through the clothing they choose to create and wear.
This year we encouraged our students to embrace their story along with the design process, from beginning to end. What most sewing do not get to do is make their own fabric. The fabric is the first decision in the design process. By making your own fabric or by altering the surface in some way, you have the opportunity to take total control of your ideas.
The students approached this project from a different points of view. Color blocking, layering textures and appliqué are a few of the surface design projects you will see on the runway. What you will notice most is hand printed fabric. More than half of our students chose to hand carve a print block and use that block to custom print their own fabric. One of our students took the plunge and sent her fabric to a professional printer to get her fabric made-to-order. Whatever process each young designer chose, the results are both very personal and amazing!
These creative young professionals are the future of fashion! You don’t want to miss this show!
The lights go on at 2:00 on June 3rd at Queen of Angels Auditorium.
To get tickets go to: BACKTACK to Broadway TICKETS

A Mystical Journey into the Beauty & Awe of Life,
And the Daily Power of Transcendence Through Surprise!
From Will Arntz, the Creator of What The Bleep?!

What is surprise in your life but an instant opportunity for transformation? A moment that can send you ascending into joy and wonder or spiraling into deep thought and life-changing new awareness.

An eye-catching beautiful and whimsical book The (not so)
Little Book of Surprises brings that home in-of course-surprising ways! A mystical journey into consciousness, an exploration of what touches our hearts, a glimmering reflection on nature and our selves, and plea for becoming our better angels are just some of the touchstones in store for readers as they experience the poetic exquisiteness of this gem.

This rumination on surprise comes courtesy of William Arntz, the creator and producer who surprised, confounded and delighted with his remarkable film What the Bleep Do We Know!? Now he teams with his wife, internationally renowned spiritual teacher and poet Deirdre Hade and award-winning photographer Endre Balogh to create something else quite special.

The (not so) Little Book of Surprises is anchored with Hade’s visionary and lyrical poetry skipping lightly about over the stunning images curated by Balogh. Each breathtaking page creates an emotional resonance with the reader…using surprise as the doorway to transformation and transcendence. The images in the book are part eye candy/part soul candy. They pile on a sensory experience that mounts the sense of surprise page by page.

All of the book’s creators began life in different fields-Arntz as a laser physicist working on “Star Wars” high energy lasers; Hade as a ballet dancer and choreographer, Balogh continues as an internationally regarded concert violinist. And through life’s mystery and surprise, they emerged as something else entirely, which makes them imminently qualified to bring forth a meditation in print on the gifts of surprise. For more information please visit: www.BookOfSurprises.com

Since her early years in Memphis, Tennessee, Deirdre Hade has been an artist and a visionary, writing poetry and conversing with the mystical worlds. As a ballet dancer and choreographer recognized by Robert Joffery, she performed throughout the country and founded the dance ensemble, “Celebrations to the Sacred.” At sixteen, when her mother was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer, Deirdre discovered the healing power of light, enabling her mother to live thirteen years longer than expected. As the founder of Radiance Healing and Meditation, Deirdre has guided people worldwide, teaching them to harness their own inner wisdom and healing potential. She is currently writing her story of life as a modern day mystic.

William Arntz started his professional career as a research laser physicist, working on “Star Wars” high energy lasers. He then moved on to software, writing “AutoSys”-an automated job control system currently in use by most Fortune 500 companies. He sold that company, retired, but then decided to make a film: creating, producing and directing What the BLEEP Do We Know!?, an exploration of spirituality, quantum physics, neurology and outrageous possibilities. The film and the companion book, with editions in over twenty languages, were international hits.

Endre Baloghis an internationally known concert violinist, having performed as a soloist with orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic and eminent musicians Zubin Mehta, Vladimir Horowitz and André Watts. He is also a sought- after photographic artist. The Professional Photographers of California named him “Number Two” among the “Top Ten Photographers” and he is one of only thirty five photographers worldwide to achieve “Diamond” status in the 2015 Professional Photographers of America International Competition.

What’s the magic of surprise? Notes’ Arntz in the foreword: “The ‘You’ before is different from the ‘You’ Afterwards.” And in The (not so) Little Book of Surprises there are 100+ pages of wonderment and surprise-an invitation to be very different when one closes the last page of the book. Potential topics of discussion:
• The Power of Surprise in one’s life
• How to keep life fresh and juicy in surprising ways
• Mastering the art of being surprising to the world
• Making surprise the gateway to your heart
