What do step stools and spinning tables have in common? |

If there were ever an opportunity to support the youngsters of Prescott while getting tipsy and dancing to a favorite DJ, Friday is the night!
Coyote Joes is partnering with the Women's Empowerment Breakthrough (WEB), with a back-beat by O. Allen Huddleston, ecclectic music mix-master, this Friday night: February 22nd, from 5-11:30pm.
$5 at the door gets you two free beer tokens, and all proceeds go to the "Step Up" project.
Step Up was borne from the struggles of Salli Maxwell, Step Up's creator, with the toddler-balancing act in public bathrooms. WEB is supporting her vision to place stepstools in every applicable bathroom so that little people and their caregivers might more easily shape hygienic behaviors.
"With enough people getting their groove on on Friday night," said Maxwell. "We should be able to get this baby off the ground!"
WEB will be asking $30 per plain stepstool, or $50 for a one-of-a-kind, kid-painted stepstool, to be delivered by the end of the second quarter. Businesses who buy in will become listed in WEB's parent-friendly business directory, and proceeds will go to mother-supportive programming.
Maxwell uses humor in her push to get stepstools in every bathroom:
"Envision a world in which mothers no longer squash toddler bellies upon sink-rims for the sake of hand sanitation. Imagine yoga-challenged fathers relinquishing modified tree pose at the wash basin --a youngster precariously balanced on their thigh-- because suddenly there is another option," she said.
