Get Out: Tiny Dancers

This weekend, Mother Nature wants you to step out and join a walkathon - or two. You can decide to stroll for the Alley Pond’s annual fundraiser or help Hadassah advance stem cell research. Better yet, why not both?

Then let talented tiny dancers, who have special needs, entertain you at their spring recital with a rousing performance. And finally, attend a Yom Hashoah (Holocaust remembrance) service where a courageous survivor tells her humbling story. Be inspired. Be moved. Be transformed.

Where/When: The Mary Louis Academy, 176-21 Wexford Terrace, Jamaica, on Sunday at 1 p.m.
Why Go: The Dancing Dreams organization has helped each of these young ballerinas overcome serious physical and medical challenges to make their wishes come true. This Hollywood-themed recital features tap, jazz and ballet but it couldn’t have more heart.
Pricing: Admission is free.

Where/When: Marathon Jewish Community Center, 245-37 60th Ave., Little Neck, on Sunday at 7 p.m.
Why Go: The Marathon JCC families will gather with those of The Little Neck Jewish Center and Temple Torah for a deferential memorial service. During the service guest speaker, Lena Casuto Goren, will recount her story of survival during World War II as a Rabbi’s daughter in the town of Larissa, Greece.
Pricing: Open to all.

Where/When: The Alley Pond Environmental Center, 228-06 Northern Blvd., Little Neck, on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Why Go: Show your support for Alley Pond as the gatekeepers of our local preserve. This is a terrific way to help APEC raise the money it needs to cover its budget shortfall.
Pricing: $10 per walker and children under age 6 free.

Where/When: Temple Israel of Great Neck, 108 Old Mill Road, Great Neck, on Sunday at 10 a.m. (registration begins at 9:45 a.m.)

Pricing: Minimum suggested donation is $20 per person and $36 per family.

Thursday Ladies Night and T.G.I.S. Night at Play Bowling Lanes

Where/When: Play bowling lanes, 77-17 Queens Blvd., Elmhurst, from Thursday to Saturday beginning at 7 p.m.
