Champion in the Neighborhood

Today’s flurry of excitement publicizing our "Champion in Action" award from Citizens Bank and NBC 10, as described by our fearless leader:

Citizens Bank and the Rhode Island NBC station, Channel 10, paid us a nice visit today. Although a few of us have known the news for a month or so, we’d been asked to keep it close to the vest until today’s announcement. The “Champion in Action” banner, with the logos of Citizens, NBC 10, and Community MusicWorks, fit nicely over our door, and we got to keep one of those BIG checks!

Community MusicWorks played elegant host to Joseph Marcaurele, President & CEO of Citizens Bank Rhode Island, a number of other good folks from both companies, and a group of loyal CMW fans and students with a sidewalk reception. The storefront speaker system made its first public showing of the spring—the Providence String Quartet, a Phase II quartet, Alana, Andrew, and Tae all performed for the crowd.
