After reading about our struggles in the Alpine Mountaineer and the Mountain News, the community opened up their hearts and their wallets to help our Music Program. We received letters from a dozen individuals and groups that spoke about how much music means to them, and how much they support our students' quest to learn and play music. We received checks as high as $1,000 and all of the money is going towards providing these students with the equipment and resources they truly need in order to pursue music!

In no particular order, we would like to give special thanks to:

• Dave Bennett Construction
• Women's Club of Lake Arrowhead
• Crest Forest Senior Citizen's Club
• Blue Jay Jazz Foundation
• the Gross Family
• the Rossler Family
• the Shubnell Family
• the Bonita Family
• the Lance Family
