August 5, 2015:  A message from your President of the Contra Costa County Chapter of Guitars Not Guns, Barbara Gorin:



Hello everyone!  We have had a very busy year so far!  We have completed five separate 8 week sessions in San Pablo, Antioch, Concord and Martinez, and are currently holding sessions in Martinez and Concord.  We will begin new sessions in Antioch and San Pablo in September.


We are in GREAT need of volunteer instructors!  This program runs on 100% volunteers and we have a great group of committed volunteers, but we all lead busy lives and have work, and family commitments.  We have many locations that are willing to host our program, and have a lot of kids, just waiting for our services!  However, we cannot commit, until we have more volunteers. 


If you know anyone who plays guitar, or you play yourself, or you need school credit for volunteer work, please send me an email, and we will send you the application and information.


I can be reached at guitarsnotgunsbarbara@gmail.com.


We also have some VERY exciting news to share soon!  Please stay tuned!  And, please check out our National website:  guitarsnotguns.org


Thank you!
