Community Action Angels newest initiative to provide musical instruments to children in need in Allegany County. "
The purpose of this event is to exhibit the hard work and dedication of the students in the after school programs. These students have spent all year practicing music of their choice. Our 21st CCLC after school program has a Music Teacher that provides individual and group lessons in vocals, bass, guitar, drums and piano. Of the nearly 80 students who participate, most do not or cannot afford an instrument of their own...STRUM ACCORD is sponsored and coordinated by ACCORD's 21st Century Community Learning Center After School Program.."
