Taborgrass Scholarship Fund

One of our students has generously contributed $400. to Taborgrass to establish a scholarship fund!  This means that Taborgrass now has a Taborgrass Scholarship Fund.

This fund will serve as a resource for students who need financial help in furthering their musical education. It will also serve as a safe place for others to make contributions to a good cause.

The Taborgrass Scholarship Fund needs to hear from you!  If you, or anyone you know, needs assistance, please let Greg know. If you know of an educational project that needs funding, let Greg know. Greg will also take your contributions at any time. He will also give periodic reports on the status of the fund.

I am so proud to be part of such a wonderful music community in Portland. Thank you anonymous donor! You rock!!
