Chalmers Elementary School in the North Lawndale neighborhood has a dynamic energy about it these days. To continue its growth and service to students, the school desperately wants to start a band program.
They have one problem. Right now they have NO instruments! Fortunately, thrree or four instruments have been donated to Schools Count Corp which, in turn, we'll pass along to Chalmers. We also raised $1200.00 at last week's Mardi Gras Concert which will enable us to purchase a few more instruments.
Here's where I can use your help!! In order to get the band going Chalmers will need additional instruments. I'm appealing to each of you to see if you have a trumpet, trombone, clarinet, french horn, flute or saxophone you can donate to the the cause.
Simply email me at rich219@comcast.net or call 630-863-6035 to make your instrument donation. Remember, you'll receive a tax deduction for making such a thoughtful and needed gift.
My plan is to deliver the instruments to Chalmers when I attend the March 19th Advisory Meeting. So don't delay! Contact me today and we'll make arrangements to pick up the instrument.
Many thanks,
Dick
