Pre-Legislative meetings held in October, November, January, and February will provide education and training for the delegates as they prepare for the three-day Annual Conference held at the Massachusetts State House in March.

“Debbie & Friends” – October 15th
From the moment Debbie & Friends launch into their first song, “I’m Glad You’re Here,” the children sing, dance, jump and have fun with the band. From that high-energy opener to the ecstatic ending, the pacing of a Debbie and Friends show perfectly aligns with the attention spans of their young audience. They’ll rock out and get the kids dancing in a theatre-sized conga line, and then they’ll bring them down gently to relax and engage in more attentive ways. Debbie and Friends has been honored with 25 national awards including a 2011 Grammy Award. Winner of more than 20 National Awards including CBS Boston Best Local Children’s Musician!
