October 2, 2023 KIDS MUSIC DAY PRESS RELEASE

                                               PRESS RELEASE




SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:  Keep Music Alive is celebrating the 8th Annual Kids Music Day .  Over 1,100 locations will offer a special event or promotion that benefits kids playing music between Sept 30 and Oct 9.

 Guitars not Guns Contra Costa County Chapter is planning an open house to coincide with the 8th Annual Kids Music day on Monday October 2 at the Concord Library from 6 to 7pm.  

 We would love to have as many Guitars not Guns graduates as possible attend with their guitars so that prospective new students and their parents can talk to you and see what you think of the program.  

 

This event is for ALL Guitar Not Guns students from all over the county, not just the Concord classes.  

 

We will be publicizing this to get as much exposure as possible.  

 

We would love for you to participate and to tell your friends and family about this special event.  If you can make it, please respond to this email.

 

Thank you in advance and we look forward to celebrating music and kids! 

Sincerely,

Steve Kennedy
