school forest and some of those programs at the PLDL...  here is an
opportunity to do some experimenting during the summer time!
As of a few minutes ago, they haven't received a large response (partly,
I'd say due to the fact that us homeschooler's didn't hear about it!!)

they need to cancel.

MUSIC OPPORTUNITES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are some exciting opportunites:
   1. As you know, the new Calumet Arts Center is very interested in working w/homeschooling families.  The plan is for arts classes on a drop in basis.  At least 22 artists have signed up as mentors.

  Musically, we will be putting together some groups, an organ tour or two, etc.  I'll get an interest sign-up sheet put up this week.  Currently, there are available individual lessons in piano, voice and organ.

   2.  The Keweenaw Heritage Center at St. Anne's is going to be very active musically this summer.  The exhibits are nifty!  We are looking for musicians for every afternoon, 2:00-3:00.  (I am playing most Fridays!)  If there are homeschoolers who would like to get a program together, contact me, Kathleen (withheld for archive)
   On "Musical Monday" evenings, different music and classes will be offered.  First Fridays in Calumet will include harp music on July 3 and organ music on August 7.  The Celebration Concert of the Barckhoff pipe organ will be given on Wednesday, August 5.
