Dear Friends of iKidNY,

I have an opportunity to invite you all to a very special event.

If you have an infant or toddler, or if you are an expecting parent, we’re going to be one of the co-sponsors at New York Family’s New Parents Expo on Saturday, May 1, from 11 AM to 2 PM. Please take a minute to check out all the details–including the two amazing vacation prizes. And don’t forget to pre-register now at newyorkfamily.com to guarantee your participation in the raffles and the goody bags. It’ll be a great opportunity for us to meet! (The event is at the heart of the Upper West Side at 72nd and Broadway, but it’s a party new and expectant parents city-wide.)

I’m also pleased to report that I’m going be a Contributing Writer for New York Family, contributing to their coverage of family activities around the city and other special finds. I’ll let you know when that blog is up and running.

As for the event, not only does the New Parents Expo include raffles for a FREE FAMILY VACATION AT THE MOST LUXURIOUS FAMILY RESORT IN THE CARIBBEAN (Half Moon in Jamaica) and a weekend vacation at the CHILDREN’S PARADISE OF SESAME PLACE; and ton of other great prizes including a 19-piece layette set from Ralph Lauren (see below); but here’s The Real Prize: the chance to explore the full range of goods and services and classes available to new parents in the city while also having a good time with your children who can enjoy the machines from the Gazillion Bubble Show, face painters, some special musical guests, and the amazing photography of Heidi Green (Everyone gets to walk away with a photograph.) REGISTER NOW AT NEWYORKFAMILY.COM to qualify for the great raffles and goody bag. I look forward to meeting you on Saturday!

Best Wishes,

Lara
