All of our programs are grounded in the philosophy that participating in music - expressing oneself through making sound - is both liberating and empowering for those who traditionally have had no voice in our society.
We are proud to say that The Note-Ables enhances the lives of those who face so many barriers to community inclusion - and improves the quality of life for all of us.
The past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of excitement here at the office. Volunteers, Board Members, Committee Members and staff alike have been a blur as we finalized preparations for A Note-Able Evening of Romance: The Rat Pack. Now, February 4th has come and gone in a blink of an eye.
It was a wonderful night. Well over 400 people attended the event to show support for our programmes and services. It is quite a humbling experience to see so many people in one room for the same reason.
The Reno Gazette Journal has a photo gallery of the evening and a short article, check them out here. Photo Gallery & Article
A special thanks goes out to the Reno Jazz Orchestra, Kenn Pettiford, Scot Marshal, Travis Axe, Pete Barnato, Joe Hart, Mark Simon, the Reno Fire Department, NV Energy, Students United Way of UNR and all the night’s volunteers for giving up their time to make the event so special and successful. Volunteers are often forgotten, and I personally just want to thank them for all their help during A Note-Able Evening of Romance.
The night takes so many people to make possible: from the attendees to the donors, board and staff, there are more thanks to come in the next few days :).
