For all you Northfielders reading my blog, tomorrow is the day to drop off band and orchestra instruments you no longer need or want, plus gently used lesson books and other music accessories.
When: Saturday, Feb. 11, 9 a.m. to noon
Where: The Northfield Middle School, 2200 Division Street South
Members of the Northfield Fine Arts Booster Club will be at the Northfield Middle School cafeteria accepting your tax-deductible donations and handing out receipts. The Northfield Area Foundation is providing a $5,000 matching grant for the program, so we are hoping for great participation!
If you don’t have any instruments to donate or can’t make it to the event, you can still support the cause of making music accessible to all. The Northfield Fine Arts Booster Club will happily accept your cash donations to repair these instruments and purchase supplies for students who use donated instruments.
Checks can be made out to NFAB and mailed to the Northfield Fine Arts Boosters, 1400 Division Street, Northfield MN 55057 (please write “Instruments For All” in the memo line). Or, you can visit the NFAB site at GiveMN and donate securely online.
We’ll also have some brochures available tomorrow for anyone who wants to become a member of the NFAB. The group’s worthy mission is to provide resources and promote community support for all the fine arts programs at Northfield High School, including speech, theater and visual arts.
I plan to arrive at the middle school shortly before 9 a.m. with some lesson books (for trumpet, French horn and viola) and an airport of coffee from Goodbye Blue Monday. I don’t want to drink all the coffee myself, so stop by and visit me!
