Congratulatory emails

"We at Project STEP are grateful to all of you at Community Music Works for bringing the country’s attention to the value of music to children – how music builds community, fosters commitment and perseverance, brings richness and builds aspirations to every child who drinks it in." (Mary Jaffee, Executive Director)

"Boy are you having a great year! A MacArthur award followed by a presidential award. I am glad people are figuring out what a wonderful mission you have and how well you are doing it. Please congratulate the troops on my behalf."
