President’s Message
CNYAMT has had a busy fall season. Members and their students have enjoyed participating in the Community Outreach Program at Maple Downs, the Instrument Petting Zoo, and the Halloween Recital. Thank you to all of the chairman and committees who worked on these events!
One of the major fundraising events to benefit all areas of CNYAMT is the Barnes & Noble Bookfair. There is a wonderful variety of 21 studios performing on December 6, 7, & 8 and we need your help!
*The committee has a very important request.*
This year, we will have a Greeting & Information Table. If your studio is not performing, consider representing your studio by volunteering to man the table for an hour or more during the performance days. If you or one of your parents are interested, email Beth Scott at
[email protected].
We are looking forward to a great event! Thank you in advance for signing up!
This is the time of year we celebrate the blessings of our family and friends. Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful holiday season.
All are welcome at any of our Board Meetings! Your input is greatly appreciated!
See you at the next Board Meeting: November 13, 9:30, NSEA Building, N. Syracuse
