Message from Flo Taylor, Founder of ShoTime Pittsburgh:As most of you know some of us have volunteering time at Shuman Center for awhile, talking to the kids about learning to vent their frustrations properly, among other things. I have met and spoken to several musicians and they say that the best age for learning to play an instrument is the teen years.
Some of the young folks out at the center say that they would like to learn to play instruments and I've spoken to several musicians who have pledged to find time in their schedules to get them started...we just need instruments, which is what this effort is about.
I partnered with Flo Rice for this endeavor and this is the first of what will be several fundraisers addressing the issue of enriching the lives of our young folks. We are totally committed to this project and all funds donated will go toward fullfillment of this goal. We have a lot of territory to cover where our kids and community are concerned, finding solutions is a challenge and some of us just 'dive in' doing what our hearts dictate.
If you'd like to attend, please call me or if you'd like to make a donation definitely call me. Those of you who contribute will be acknowledged at the end of the Youth Partners and all community-related television shows (unless you'd rather not) produced by ShoTime Pittsburgh. We are on a mission...

PS - If you haven't heard either of these young women, you're in for a treat!
