“If it is to be, it is up to me.”  Ten little two letter words that pack a powerful message!  Good advice for our students to consider in preparing for lessons and events, but also good advice to all of us teachers as members of DVMTA.  It is so easy in an organization that relies solely on volunteers, for members to take a back seat and let someone else get the job done.  After all, someone else must have more time than each of us, right?  And, of course, no monetary reward is involved so why bother, right?  I have been thinking about this tendency to “pass the buck” a lot lately, because we have some critical fund-raising to do in the near future to support our student awards fund.  My fear is that people will mistakenly think that they don’t need to participate, because there are bound to be many others who will participate.  Just imagine what would happen if each and every one of us had that attitude!  The fund-raising effort would fail miserably!  
  
Fortunately, we have found two family-friendly fund-raisers this year to supplement the funds we raise at our Marathon event.  One is our Organ Stop Pizza Night and the other is the Amazon Smile program.   Please read about each of these events below.  If either of these efforts is to succeed, it is up to each and every one of you helping to spread the word to your piano families!  Our student awards fund is depending on you!
