*money to pay for the rest of the year's worth of Group Class--we are getting closer to our goal but do not yet have enough to carry us through May.  

*a few more donations of 3/4 size and full-size violins or violas.  A few of the youth are 

using instruments that are too small.

*Kun shoulder rests for sizes 1/2 to full size violins (they are all using sponges right now and it would be nice if they could all have Kun shoulder rests or something like it, especially for the youth who are tall and boney like many pre-teens are ;-)

*gas gift cards to Marathon Gas Stations--often parents don't have the money for gas to drive from the eastside to Orchestra Hall where the group lessons are held--sometimes we will only get 2 or 3 kids coming to Saturday morning class because of this!

*dressy outfits for performances (ages 8-13, mostly girls, 3 boys ages 8, 12 & 14)

*Suzuki Vol. 1 CD--listening to the songs they are learning greatly helps the youth but none of the youth can afford to buy the CD: http://www.amazon.com/Suzuki-Violin-School-Revised-Preucil/dp/B0027PB1N6

*Suzuki Vol. 1 music book (comes with CD): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0739048112/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0027PB1N6&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0PY2SKPXTM1WQB5V6S06
