CREATIVE MUSIC CENTER TO HOST A CONCERT FOR HEALING

IN HONOR OF SANDY HOOK

In honor of the Sandy Hook families, Creative Music Center of Monroe will be hosting, “Amazing Grace: A Concert for Healing,” on Sunday, January 27, 2013 from 3:00 – 5:30 pm at the Masuk High School Auditorium at 1014 Monroe Turnpike in Monroe. 

Faculty and students from Creative Music Center will perform both instrumental and vocal pieces, alongside other local, professional musicians.  The program will feature a variety of solos and ensembles including an acapella vocal group, a classical guitar and flute duo and trio, a brass duo, and much more.

 Liz Reisman, owner of Creative Music, hopes this event will be an offering of solace using creative expression for the Newtown families and surrounding communities.

 There is no cost to attend. Please visit the Creative Music Center’s Facebook Event page for more information: https://www.facebook.com/events/305581356229904/

Thank you everyone for your comments. Carl - will try not to be offended by your "anyone withRead More half a brain" comment. I am dismayed to hear Dawn that you have made this effort and been turned down by the town and police department (it's not uncommon for me to see the police speeding up and down Moose Hill Road too!) Glad to hear, though, that I am not alone in seeing a need for people to get a grip on the road. Slow down. Hang up. Comply with stop signs and stop lights. Be courteous.

I have been tail-gated so many times - everywhere in Monroe - I drive a little over the posted speedRead More limit BUT I respect the people walking (most of the time in the wrong direction) and bike riders (they too ride in the wrong direction. HANG UP THE PHONE - DON'T PIGGY BACK thru a stop sign, and learn the right of way rule. AND STOP SIGNS mean S T O P!!! Robin lane people are good for running stop signs. And Pepper Street is 25 mph - NOT 45 or 50!!! Walkers & runners FACE TRAFFIC - Bike riders RIDE WITH TRAFFIC. AND one more thing - don't block the drive ways if there is a stop light - and someone coming in or out - let them and move on. THANKS for letting me get this off my chest!!!!!

Good luck Laura, My husband and I tried to get some on Purdy Hill Road from Rt.111 to Rt.25. theyRead More said they can't do it. I have asked numerous times to have a police officer sit in Farmview or use our driveway, said it's too dangerous, go figure. Tired of drivers around town having no respect for other drivers and people walking on side of road. It gets to the point that I don't even want to leave my house. Get a clue people slow down, stay off phones, it's not hard.
