How do you choose after school activities for your kids?

Hi, ladies. I'm writing an article for a parenting magazine on how to choose after school activities for your kids and I need input from some Greater LA area moms (L.A., Malibu, Palisades, Pasadena, Valley, Valencia etc.). If you've got some mom-tested advice and would like to be interviewed for my article, please respond to this discussion or drop me an email at lisaarmony@cox.net.

Thanks in advance.
