I am amazed at the growth and development of our organization," said Nancy Coplin, President of HOME. "We are supporting our music community in ways that did not exist before.”

“As our community ages and with the dramatic changes and interruptions in live music performances, I foresee a much greater need for our support. It is through events like 'HOME COOKIN' FOR THE HOLIDAYS' which generate donations from the music loving community that will help us meet the upcoming needs.”

People and societies have endured hardship and fear and gone through it and come out on the other side. You have to have faith in humanity. You have to continue to hold your own truths sacred. Morality, integrity, decency: Those are the things that matter.
