Thank you again for making Peace Through Pyramids possible. The St. Louis Arches and the Galilee Circus reunited to form the Galilee Arches and toured for two weeks around St. Louis.  These twenty-three, amazing, flying children promoted peace through pyramids, joy through juggling and harmony through handsprings throughout the St. Louis area. They appeared at City Museum, Chesterfield Mall, The Loop, Youth and Family Center, the Science Center, the Magic House, Hammer's Food & Fun, Central Reform Congregation, Trout Lodge and at Jamestown Mall with Universoul Circus.

This creative, heart warming and awe-inspiring collaboration happened thanks to YOU! These young people prove it doesn't matter where you are from or what your background is, it is who you are and what you do that makes a difference. They are only children--- but they have a lot to teach the rest of the world. These children once again demonstrated in a breath-taking way, what can happen when people of different nationalities and backgrounds concentrate on what they can do together instead of on what sets them apart. They are a brilliant, shining example of what is RIGHT in the world!

If you missed seeing them live, there are photo albums from each day they were here on the Circus Harmony Facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/circusharmony/photos. Mike Martin Media also filmed the final shows and  we will get them up on youtube. 

If you haven't yet gotten your tangible reward for helping us fund the project, it will be on its way soon. Please know that you deeply touched many lives with your support. Thank you again for making Peace Through Pyramids possible!

For Harmony,

Jessica Hentoff

Dear Beautiful Backers, Sensational Supporters, Great Givers!

We are almost at our goal (with special thanks to a certain circus angel and each and every one of you!). If you know anyone else who believes that children can fly and that teaching children from different backgrounds to stand on each others' shoulders makes them all stand taller, please ask them to add to our pyramid of support! 

We set a goal that really only covers some of our expenses for this momentous undertaking.  Our Israeli partners have been raising money on their side of the sea. A group in Philadelphia is helping, too, and the Galilee Circus will be stopping there on the way to St. Louis. Once in St. Louis, the combined troupes will be doing shows at CIty Museum, Torut Lodge and other venues. They will be here July 22  though August 5th. We are also looking for donations of food and beverages while the Israelis are with us.  If you would like to book or feed the Gallee Arches (the combined troupes of the St. Louis Arches and the Galilee Circus), please email us at circusday@circusharmony.org or call 314-436-7676. 

Thank you for believing in Peace Through Pyramids and helping us bring Hope, Humor and Happiness with our handsprings!

Jessica Hentoff an the Flying Children and Board of Directors of Circus Harmony and the Galilee Circus!

Thanks to all of you we have raised over $6,000! We still have a bit over $14,000 to go and must do so n 14 days on Kickstarter! Do you know anyone who might be inspired by seeing this news piece? Would you like to hold a fundraising Circus Soiree in your living room with a screening  of the award-winning movie CIRCUS KIDS (about our first visit to Israel in 2007)? If you are in St. Louis, we'll bring the popcorn and cotton candy.

Thank you for your help and support!

Defy Gravity!

PS If you are in St. Louis, come see us with Circus Flora now through June 24.

Dear Gravity Defier,

I  need a little more help to bring our Israeli partners here this summer. In addition the Kickstarter campaign, Circus Harmony is doing a book fair with Barnes & Noble tomorrow thru May 24 to raise the needed funds.  Purchases made through any Barnes & Noble, even online, will count towards our project IF you use ID # 10724581 (you will need to read the instructions in our newsletter or on our website for online use).

DETAILS AND SOME OTHER GOOD NEWS AND GREAT VIDEO ARE IN OUR NEWSLETTER:  http://conta.cc/KkwScK PLEASE CHECK IT OUT!

If you do not already get our monthly e-newsletter,and would like to, please sign up at www.circusharmony.org. 

I would also appreciate you passing any and all of our information along to ANYONE and EVERYONE you think might be interested in supporting Peace Through Pyramids. We only need about $15,000 to make the Kickstarter a 'go'. That means I need 600 people to each donate $25 or 300 to donate $50 or...you can do the math. But we need a lot of people!

This is such a wonder-full project. But it won't happen without a lot of help from the people who believe circus really can save the world, as Reg Bolton said. Please be the wind beneath our chlidren's wings. Read the newsletter, watch the video, buy books, steer other people to us on Kickstarter and pass this on.

Thank you!

PS Every little bit really does help!
