We welcome again Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band for the second leg of their tour. We welcome The Red Hot Chili Peppers for their U.S. tour. Please see letters (attached) + and look for their tour information to follow. Many good wishes to blink-182 for signing Certificates of Appreciation for students whom initiate Rock and Wrap It Up! School Programs in their school and community and to Paul Orescan for making it happen! Much thanks to Bruce Hornsby, Mitch Slater and Ron Delsener for participating in our fund-raiser. The letter signed by all three has made a difference for us. Please continue your generosity if you have not already done so. We have much to do and so little funding.
