next #Mountainair iCreate recital & meeting

Update from Kay Stillion, who writes, 

Our next Mountainair recital is all violin students, Estrella Griego, Samantha Torrez and Jaiden Martinez, who will perform Saturday January 21, 2:30 pm at Pack's Cafe at the Shaffer.  Interested in our community based music outreach program and trying out violin or guitar lessons yourself? Call 847-2301 for more information. iCreate welcomes guests at meetings and activities. If you have a guitar or violin not being used, we can always use more musical instruments too as well as volunteer instructors.

 

The next iCreate returns to the 4th Saturday schedule interrupted by holidays and will be January 28, 2:30 pm at Lenora Romero's. We hope to be announcing exciting news about iCreate funding and development very soon. Look for our finding a new home and expanding music outreach, youth programs, community garden/sustainability mission, and developing new educational and creative projects.
