I’ve been able to track and locate fine shows to attend, audition for, at times I’ve found musicians I’ve needed, sent my four talented children to auditions I’ve seen here, had questions answered, and learned a good deal simply by observation thru NEOhioPAL. I encourage all subscribers to please consider a contribution to this community’s future with a donation of any size you can. We’ve all benefited from it and will continue to do so in years to come.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Again, thank you Fred Sternfeld for all you’ve done and continue to do for NE Ohio’s arts community.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Happy New Year, everyone!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#0070C0'> Mark<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
