MUSIC FOR VETERANS Memorial Day is approaching, and what better way to honor and remember those who have served than to contribute to a local organization that helps our vets!
Music for Veterans, founded in 2011, provides a healthy environment of camaraderie at weekly music sessions where veterans are able to attend and play music together, and build friendships with others who’ ve served.
The positive results from this organization has been welldocumented, and it has received accolades from both the Veterans Administration and the Veterans Center.
If you are able to donate an instrument for a vet to play, or would like to make a contribution, visit the website at music4veterans. org. There is also a schedule of live performances!
Our veterans are special people who have served the country well. Music for Veterans is a great way to help support them.
