We have had two "Give Away" parties. We are so happy we have been able to raise over $10,000 to purchase instruments. We have some funds left over that we will be hosting some weekend music workshops. If there are any of you that want to come and donate us a day, please let us know. We now have instruments in our hands and in our homes. So we are now ready to play.

    We are ordering the guitars and keyboards. Looks like it is going to be a very Merry Christmas for the teens. Please continue to donate throughout the Holdiay season. We would to exceed our goals and then start coordinating artists to come and visit us on the Rez. Our dream is to have some teaching workshops. We will need that once we get the instruments. Happy Holidays.
