Hello readers,
Alphonso has been taking a much deserved break since school is done for the year. Here are a few things that has happened over the last few weeks. Alphonso, along with his sisters, was in a car accident. Thankfully everyone was okay. Cars can be replaced but lives cannot. He was promoted to the sixth grade with high honors. His contract with Lion King has been extended again! We are so pleased with his growth as an actor. Lawrence Presbyterian Church centered their Vacation Bible School around the Lion King so we popped in for a surprise visit. The children, as well as the staff, were so excited when we arrived. It was great. He was also asked to be part of a video. Once the shot is complete, he will release all of the pertinent information. My husband and I would like to takes this opportunity to thank all of you for your continued support. TTYL
Mr & Mrs Jones

See, hip-hop mogul 50 Cent is a nice guy after all. Just don't tell his nemeses Rick Ross and Fat Joe..
The tough-guy rapper, who just premiered his new film Twelve last week, recently registered as a bone marrow donor in an effort to help a young actress diagnosed with leukemia. .
When 50 Cent heard that 11-year-old Shannon Tavarez needed a bone marrow transplant, he and G-Unit member Tony Yayo registered with DKMS and were added to the Be The Match Registry..
.
Before she was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia, Tavarez had a co-starring role as young Nala in the Broadway production of The Lion King. .
Tavarez's story made 50 Cent think about his own child. "My son is just a couple years older than Shannon and I can't imagine if his life was needlessly cut short when there is someone out there that could save him," the rap star said in a statement.
