We currently have one computer that is used primarily for bookkeeping.

The PCs need to be current from a hardware standpoint; capable of running the Windows 7 operating system and Microsoft Office software.

You may contact Pat Ryan if you think you can help us out.  C4A is a registered charitable organization and can provide a receipt for the fair value of the equipment.

C4A faculty members Tom Faux and Doug Schroer play for shoppers at our Pre-Sale.

We had a great time at our “ginormous” garage sale this past weekend and raised some funds to help with scholarships and operations!  

Lots of folks came to dig through the piles of goods, and for the 2nd year running we had C4A faculty performing for this event. We have made a fine new  tradition of having live music at our garage sales.

Now I ask you, who would ever again want to attend a garage sale that did not feature live music?

Special thanks to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and Federal O’Byrne Moving and Storage for their assistance with this project!

 The close proximity of music store and music school brings obvious benefits to both parties, but what we’re *most* excited about is the potential to create a new “music center” that will help ramp up activity in downtown Urbana.  Given this prime location, it’s possible to imagine downtown Urbana becoming known in the region for its vibrant music scene!  Obviously this fits our core mission of building local community through music very well.

More postings as things develop!
