During the month of September, Community Outreach will be collecting musical instruments in good condition. Instead of collecting dust, give the precious gift of music to a child. All donations can be brought to the ASCA office. The instruments will be donated to local students. “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” ― Plato.  Please contact Ann Zediker at jazediker@comcast.net with any questions.
