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!
