We just held a Winter Kick-off event for all our new and continuing volunteers for the winter semester. It was well attended, and we debuted our music resource library! We have over 100 books in the library and other resources such as flashcards for volunteers to borrow to assist them with their lessons. Lots of our volunteers showed interested and quite a few borrowed books. We have developed an electronic tracking system using a simple spreadsheet on a computer system donated to our office. We are in the midst of another recruiting drive to coincide with the beginning of a university semester, and already many potential volunteers have contacted us!

We held a successful Winter Celebration Event on November 18 with over 40 children attending. This gave the participants in the program a chance to interact with their peers and their piano teachers outside of the school environment. Some students had never been bowling before, and it was overall, a very rewarding experience.
We are currently developing a music resource library to support volunteers at schools with limited books and other resources. We hope to fully launch this in January right after the Christmas break!
