So Horns for the Holidays is still a possibility.<br /><br />It also turns out that the school districts can take the instruments directly if they are in good condition--I happened to notice in last week's school board packet that they voted to accept a donation of a cornet. And I think that any of the school districts can do that (and you can get the tax deduction--probably not for this year though!). If you want to donate an instrument, start with your school's music teacher or principal--or, if you don't have a student in the schools, contact the administrative offices.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10531344380743742801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790809561264810693.post-56296148248637598562011-12-17T08:01:50.739-05:002011-12-17T08:01:50.739-05:00Thanks for asking about Horns for the Holidays. I ...Thanks for asking about Horns for the Holidays. I still continue to accept and distribute instruments on a limited basis. I don't have an official Fiduciary relationship at this time, so donors can't get a tax receipt, but folks still contact me and I still have a few instruments available. I haven't publicized the program as in the past since it's just me handling all the work and don't have a budget for repairs. <br /><br />I started the program believing that if we can make a difference in one child's future through musical opportunities we have provided a great service and I will continue the program on whatever level time and resources allow. I believe over the 13 years or so we have provided close to 400 instruments to children who might have not had that opportunity. Any teachers have further questions can contact me at zenkora@gmail.com Peace & Happy Holidays!

I appreciate the insight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
