Marilyn Anderson, one of the founding members of the Music Advocacy Group (MAG) was honored this past Sunday, March 3, at the 16th annual Community Concert. The Boards of the Orcas Island Education Foundation, the Chamber Music Festival, and the Orcas Island Community Foundation, along with several private donors, contributed $5,000 to the MAG endowment in celebration of Marilyn’s steadfast dedication to provide quality music education in our schools.
The outstanding performance by the High School Band during the concert was a testimony to the incredible results of the efforts of the entire MAG Board. Their ongoing and strategic support of both teachers and students has truly transformed musical education in our schools.
If you would like to add your support to successful endeavor, contributions can be sent to MAG, PO Box 1171, Eastsound, WA 98245.
