A Message from the Founders…
The year has been quite busy so far between our music enrichment afterschool program in full swing, our meal delivery service, and the hand-wash kit program. We’re out in the community making a difference in people’s lives, and that’s what it’s all about! Mare and Charlie have set up a regular monthly meal delivery for North Valley Caring Services, who takes the prepared food to unsheltered homeless individuals and families in temporary motel living situations. With the rain and unusually cold weather, we are happy to be providing this service. In addition to our daily efforts, we’re also in the planning stages for this year’s annual GTF benefit concert event. More on this very soon, so stay tuned. Please stay well and safe. –Kevin & Mare Wachs, co-founders

February 1 & 2 – FestForums Conference Wrap Up
On Feb 1 & 2, Team Get Together had the great opportunity to participate in the FestForums Conference in Santa Barbara. Kevin, Mare, Stephanie and Lauri spent time at our booth in the trade show and met a lot of new friends and supporters. We also attended some of the interesting seminars offered. GTF was the recipient of some of the funds raised in the silent auction together with the Lobero Theatre Foundation (that hosted the musical event on February 2) and the Montecito Family YMCA, who all share in the betterment of community and offering programs to underprivileged kids and families. Thank you to Laurie Kirby, event producer, and her amazing team for including us.
The culmination of this 2-day event was the "Get Together" Concert, a themed event which featured performances by the ‘next generation’ and included Chris Stills (Stephen Stills’ son), Teddy Jack (Leon Russell’s son), Hearty Har (John Fogerty’s 2 sons), and a special performance by Jesse Colin Young and his daughter Jazzie. The Tribe Band performed a 3-song mini set paying tribute to the Woodstock era.

The event took place at the historic Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara. Kicking off the event was a slide presentation by special guest Henry Diltz showing his photographic images of Woodstock and the late David Crosby.
