Can you help one of our members?
Instruments needed
Judy Lasko will be starting a small Orff class after school at the place she
works in the South Bronx, Abraham House (VERY poor). It's a center for
Mexican immigrant families, several of whom have family members in prison. Judy
will stock as many instruments as she can from her personal collection, but
needs (hopefully)2 xylophones and 2 big drums. She is hoping someone can either
lend one thing, or maybe would be disposing/replacing old, damaged, scratched,
dented instruments. If you are able to help Judy please email her at
judylasko@mindspring.com
