Fall music fest helps COTA

The Casper Music Teachers Association is sponsoring the third annual fall music festival to benefit the Children's Organ Transplant Association on Saturday, Oct. 25 at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church. The festival, open to all piano students, teachers and community musicians, will feature solos, duets or ensemble numbers.

The festival is a result of the tremendous response to the programs, "Music for Melissa", which were dedicated to Melissa Berg in 2006 and the Ronald McDonald House Building Fund in 2007. Although Melissa is responding well to her liver transplant which she received in December of 2006 there is a continuing need for financial support, as she will need medications and follow up.

This year we are re-naming the fall festival "Children Helping Children." Two other Wyoming children, Grace Albright and Gavin Maxwell, are waiting for transplants. Funds that are raised will be donated to the Children's Organ Transplant Association in honor of Grace, Gavin and Melissa. Pianists from around the state are invited to participate in the program and encouraged to seek pledges for the fund. Each person will receive special recognition for their participation.

Please contact Arlene Osborn, CMTA president if you, or your students would like to participate in the program. Phone numbers are 262-2939 or 436-8754 or by email at {M7amusic@vcn.com
