A Special Volunteer is Needed for Arts for All

The DBA received a unique request to partner with another non profit organization in town called Arts for All to provide a musical experience for kids with disabilities.
The DBA would provide 1 to 4 musicians on a monthly basis to go into the school and interact with the kids, using instruments provided by Dave Pelletier and The Hat Band. Details regarding dates and time are flexible, and can be adjusted to meet the schedules of both the students and musicians.The DBA is looking for a single person to head up and organize this worthwhile venture.

It would require a few hours a month, scheduling the time with the director at the school and then hand picking 2-4 musicians to accompany you to the school.

The person organizing the activity need not be a musician, so this is a golden opportunity for any grinner in the organization to become involved. Musicians involved need only be patient and willing to work with the kids, not necessarily professional status on your instrument .Please consider volunteering your time to become involved in our community and to give back some of the joy that bluegrass has brought into your life.
