| On May 11, our STL contingent came together on one day, as one community - and gave! Nearly $7,700 was raised and those funds will be subject to bonus pool funds as well! We would like to thank everyone who participated to make Give STL Day such a success. If you didn't have a chance to donate on May 11, we invite you to donate here for the Great Give on May 17 from midnight to midnight. | ||
 We have been fortunate enough to be able to award scholarships to student artists in our network. Those scholarships are paying off. Our students are excelling. In fact, for many of them, this is their senior year and as they graduate, they have chosen majors in performing arts! Bravo to:

 (Left) A4AC young artist Megan Savage, and her mentor, Jackie Robbins, Certified Clinical Musician working together after Treasure Coast Youth Symphony as well as for Artists for a Cause therapeutic musical programs. A Note From Jackie: "A great day at grand Oaks! I arrived and only one person was awake at 2:00 p.m. when I was setting up. By the time I left there were 12 or 13 memory care residents, additional family and friends, and three or four staff enjoying themselves and the music. A mixture of classical, to go with sing-along, and the Great American songbook - as well as a lot of melodies from around the world. When I exited, the group of people who were taking painting lessons on the third Wednesday of every month, were just finishing up an "out of the box session." When they heard the live music - which had never happened before - the teacher chose to ask for something new. Instead of the usual simple watercolor, the instructor asked them to paint reflections of the music. It was very cool to see all these different interpretations of a jazz trio, with the big stand-up bass instead of a cello." ~ Jackie Robbins And to top this all off - the watercolor class was taught by our own Val Lally scheduled through Artists for a Cause!

 Again, we would like to thank the venerable and philanthropic Elisabeth Lahti for her contribution to the community and the arts. Last month, our Executive Director Terry Barber performed with soprano Lorrianna Colozzo at the Elisabeth Lahti Concert Series which was underwritten by a grant from Ms. Lahti and awarded to the Library Foundation of Martin County. The concert was a success and we thank all who attended.  | ||
Support for Charities  On April 27, Megan Savage entertained guests for the St. Lucie County Economic Development Council's Leadership Dinner. She played cello during happy hour while notable community members, elected officials and nominees for the prestigious Pete Hegener Leadership Award. The award is presented to a dedicated organization or business leader who has significantly contributed to St. Lucie County’s economy and quality of life. Thank you, Megan! Back to top | ||
