Eagle Project:
Do you have used musical instruments to donate?

Bryce Gomes is a Boy Scout in Troop 31, Port Reading.  He's working on his Eagle Project, and he's hoping you can help.

Bryce loves music, so for his Eagle Project, he's decided to collect any old, used, and worn musical instruments and repair them, and then give them to our township schools for use in their music programs.

Bryce explains, "Schools do not (always) have instruments for children who would like to play but do not have the money to buy or rent." But Bryce throught that it was very possible that other local families might have old musical instruments that they had no use for... maybe in attics or closets, left over from when their own children started taking lessons and then quit.  Those instruments, rather than being locked away and unplayed, could benefit others. 

Bryce said "All donations will go directly to our local schools and are tax deductible."  Most recently, he said, he's gotten a donation of a Fender Guitar.  Even broken instruments are being accepted, because he's going to have them fixed up before he sends them to school.

So, if you have an old oboe or tuba, flute or clarinet, or any other kind of musical instrument, and you aren't using it anymore, you can contact Bryce at 732-850-4239, or at bgomes_music_drive@verizon.net.
