The feds may be drastically cutting back on funding of public schools in many ways but that won't stop the Hinsdale Central High School Jazz Ensembles or Schools Count Corp. from continuing to help create band programs in the city of Chicago. This year the HC Jazz Program will be performing in order to raise funds to create a band at Medgar Evers Elementary School.
This is not only an opportunity to hear some great music but it's an opportunity to help get instruments into the hands of some children who desperately want the chance to play a sax, trumpet, clarinet, flute, guitar or the drums. You can make this happen!!
Our Eighth Annual Concert will once again be held at the Hinsdale Community House which is located on Madison St. (just north of 55th St.) in Hinsdale on Tuesday, April 25th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. What a great way to unwind from a busy day!! Admission is $5 per person or $10 for the entire family, yes, the entire family.
One of the other ways you can help us create a band at Evers is to donate an instrument in very good and playable condition. We'd be pleased to write you a tax-deduction receipt for the market value of the instrument. One of the other ways to help the students at Evers is to donate $100 (or more) towards a specific instrument and Schools Count Corp. will pay the remaining balance. We'll be sure to submit your name and address to Ms. Ellis, the Principal, to inform her that you are the donor of the instrument.
To take part in any of the above initiatives please contact Dick Flesher at rich219@comcast.net and we can make arrangements for your valued participation.
Many thanks,
Dick
