This fantastic outreach program takes our flute music into senior living facilities and nursing homes every 6 to 8 weeks.
All GCFS members are welcome and encouraged to participate!
Bonnie Svetlik and Ann Droste are co-chairs.
This is a wonderful opportunity for us to use music to brighten the day for those who can't get "out and about"
like we can. Please join us if you can!
We are slowly starting to resume this outreach program. If you are interested in participating, please contact us.
