The Cascade Blues Association Board has approved a sponsorship grant request from Julie Amici to help support the Music Enrichment Program in the Neah-Ka-Nie School District. Julie has secured additional grants to get this program off the ground. Another source of income will be the proceeds from the North Coast Music Festival (in October)

Julie’s program includes workshops for choir and band and includes sessions with LaRhonda Steele and John Nastos this fall which the funds from the CBA will directly assist. She has an additional request for funds to help with the spring program with Ellen Whyte and John Pierre-Gareau, that we will consider at a later date.
