And much like a reality show, the "reality" is up for serious debate.
But not here.

If you want to see what Girls Rock NC organizers do for the girls they
work with each year, come to the Cat's Cradle showcase on July 19th.
You'll see for yourself that the girls receive nothing but
encouragement, support, a year's worth of energy, and the power to
unlock the creativity and confidence already within . It's amazing,
people. And true.

Anywho, I felt I should say a quick something to bring the post back
the the original focus: the girls. If you can't make it tonight,
we've got tons of events coming up over the next few months. You can
find more info at www.girlsrocknc.org.

Thanks! Girls Rock NC is a pure and wonderful organization, I hope
the community will respect that from this point forward!
