Dear Friends of Drum Central;

 We hope that your summer is going really well, and that you are spending some of it singing, drumming and dancing in rhythm with those you love! 

Since you are familiar with Drum Central, you probably know that our mission is to keep an active musical presence in the Boise community; to share and teach and learn music with a direct hands-on approach – usually based on traditional, cultural methods. You may not know that we are a non-profit business and that our current staff and board of directors are volunteers. Being a non-profit doesn’t make us exempt from needing money to keep doing what we do.  

In the 10 years that Drum Central has been operating in Boise, we have touched many lives - neighbors young and old - with the joy of making music together. Drum Central is currently faced with an urgent need for cash.  Urgent means, in order to keep the studio doors open we need some cash donations, and we need them soon. It takes about $1000.00 every month to maintain the studio and store. (That includes insurance, taxes, utilities and internet access.)  

Can you support Drum Central with a donation? A donation in any amount will help us with our current need. And for those of our friends that may have a little more to give, please consider making a monthly donation. We’ve made it very easy for you to donate online - just click here.  There are TWO options, with your Paypal account or with your debit or credit card. (You will see that option to the left of the screen when it takes you to the secure pay screen) Of course you can always stop by the studio at 2709 West State Street and drop off a donation there. 

 Just $10.00 a month from one-hundred supporters will pay all our monthly bills and allow us to continue to grow. We feel that this amount spreads the financial load and allows many of us a simple way to help work together for a common purpose. Do you have $10 or even more that you can donate? Can you and a friend commit together to that amount? If you said yes, please do make a donation - because you will have a real impact on a local non profit; your help will make a difference! 

 Thank you for taking your time to consider our request.
