Hello All,
It was a perfect night on McCulloch Blvd. The crowds were small but very
positive. The stage was set outside on McCulloch Blvd. Main Street, where 16
songwriters waited eagerly to play their one song in hope to be Lake Havasu
Songwriter of the Year. Then the aw of the crowd when Sebastian Bonfils open his
mouth and his inspiring words and soulful sound filled the dark air, you
could hear a pin drop in the audience. I watched one woman wiping a tear from
her eye! The talent continued one by one with the only concern, why were more
people not here? Some may say it was a population contest where others never
knew of the talent that lives in this great town, but I was proud to have put
this on, it was like my own children being heard for the first time! The Lake
Havasu Sponsor were so kind to have given so much that they will never know what
they did for these brave souls, allowing each and every person to hear their
very private words. These are the long lost Songwriters in this world and
sometimes they choose to hide behind their talent, but that night they stepped
out on stage with the same hope I had, saving music & arts in this
community. For everyone that didn't make it to the event will you make sure you
take the time to send K-12 Foundation a donation to be used for music and arts?
My event only made $3,000 for the organization but gave the Songwriters a chance
to showcase their talents. I ask that everyone young, old, black, white or other
to walk with me in this adventure to save music & arts! This is the perfect
venue for Lake Havasu City, showing the world that we care and that someday we
will have all the money in the schools that appeal to each and every talent our
children have!
We plan for many changes next year to this event and I will continue as
long as I get support from all the amazing sponsor and volunteers.
