Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Dana, Claire, and Janelle did a wonderful thing last school year. Through t-shirt sales to their fellow students at Forest Hills Northern Middle School, these enterprising young ladies raised a whopping $411 to support GAAH's music program at the Cook Arts Center. These funds will be used to purchase half-size violins for some of our pint-size students.

In the photo (left to right) are Janelle, Claire, Dana, GAAH Executive Director Marjorie Kuipers, and Dana's mother, Hope (back row). The girls presented the check as well as a donated violin and music just prior to Maria Royce Hesse's harp performance at the Cook Library Center on October 12.

On behalf of all present and future violin students at the Cook Arts Center, I thank Dana, Claire, and Janelle for their tireless efforts in support of GAAH's music program.
