My Rodzinka has started bigs/littles this year kind of like a sorority. They gave each other mugs to start off the year and we'd love to easily have access to hot chocolate and other beverages.

A Yamaha Bari Saxaphone is a much needed replacement for our current instrument.

The clavinova in the auditorium no longer works. This new piano would be used for musicals and for choir and band concerts.
