Piano Practicathon Time

Mrs. Sibbel's Studio is once again hosting a Valentines Week Practice-ATHON

This year the studio is raising money for the Ames Emergency Residence Program.  http://www.amesshelter.org/ Specifically the money will go to updating some apartments the program keeps to provide housing for the homeless.  Each apartment needs about $3,500 in updates.  Did you know over 2000 people used Ames Emergency Residence program last year, 1,000 of those individuals were children!  This is a part of Ames I don't get to see or look beyond, and I know I need to get more involved. 
So if you would like to be more involved.  Emily would love for you to sponsor her practice time this week.  She started February 5 and will continue until February 12.  Her goal is to reach 140 minutes.  Her usual practice time averages 120 minutes/week.  She does have a recital at the end of the month so she is quite motivated. 

You can pledge a flat fee or money/minute whichever you choose! Checks can be made directly to Ames Emergency Residence or to Robert or I. 

Thanks!

and I will get off my soapbox and post more pictures
