IN HARMONY SERVICE AWARDS
Each year Music for Minors II recognizes a docent, liaison, or board member whose commitment to children and the MFMII program has been outstanding and particularly deserving of recognition. This person would have gone above and beyond the norm for volunteer work within MFMII. This person should have also worked in more than one area in the organization such as docent and liaison or board member. Nominations are always welcome. Email [email protected] .
