Music Ensemble Class in need of Equipment

The Music Ensemble class (appearing in public as the 5th Hour Band) is
in need of several somewhat expensive pieces of equipment. As the class
has grown, we need to expand our resources. If all our wishes were
granted, the class would add the following equipment to its inventory:

- 2 amplifiers for guitar — e.g., Fender Squire or Fender Princeton
- 1 electronic keyboard; 88 keys preferred (e.g., Roland, Yamaha, or
Korg)
- 1 small drum set (snare, high-hat, ride symbol, small bass drum (18″)
- Miscellaneous percussion instruments

If anyone has any of these items and/or would like to donate them to the
class, please contact Don Senneville. Thank you in advance for anything
you can do.

Save our library!

In case you have not heard, there is a possibility that Desert Broom Library will be closed down as a result of the budget cuts. I’m sure you will all agree that this would be an absolute shame! PLEASE take a moment to take some action to prevent our library from being closed. You can do one (or better yet – ALL!) of the following things:

1. Call or email Councilwoman Peggy Neely and ask to her to fight to keep the library open. I sent her an email and it took just a minute to do. Her contact information is:

E-mail: council.district.2@phoenix.gov Phone: 602-262-7445

2. Stop by the Desert Broom library and sign the petition.

3. Spread the word and forward to others in the Cave Creek/Desert Ridge area and ask them to take action too!

Hopefully our voices will be heard and our library will remain open!
