MMAMTA Vice President on "Musicathon"

Dear all,

I am writing to let you about the upcoming Musicathon 2021, a fundraiser event organized by the Mid Missouri Area Music Teachers Association (MMAMTA). As the Vice President of MMAMTA, I would like to invite you to participate in this great community event!

The MMAMTA provides scholarships for young musicians in the Mid Missouri Area besides promoting an annual Concerto Competition, master-classes, and supporting local charities.

There are three main ways to get involved:

· By performing at the events

· By donating money

· By spreading the word about Musicathon

The Musicathon this year will be different than it has been in the past due to COVID-19. Instead of a live performance, we will collect videos from students and teachers and stream them on YouTube on March 7th. The link for the video is: https://youtu.be/ruP1T9dQbg4

How to donate:

Write a check made out to MMAMTA

Mail it to:

c/o Renan Leme

2805 Wolf Creek Ct.

Columbia, MO, 65203

Please help us to spread the word by letting others learn about Musicathon!

If you have any questions you can address them to me via email: reisleme.renan@gmail.com

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Renan Leme

MMAMTA Vice President
