A Night of Brass Music on May 3

Please join the Bolton Community Education Foundation for a night of brass music in the Student Commons at Bolton High School on Thursday, May 3, 2012, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and seniors.

The award-winning Nautilus Brass Quintet has quickly carved out a name for itself in the world of brass chamber music. Last year, the quintet moved from its home base in Boston to UConn's Storrs campus, where its members continue their dual missions of performance excellence and chamber music education.

While in Connecticut, the Nautilus Brass, first-prize winner at the 2011 UConn Brass Festival Ensemble Competition, established partnerships with schools in Storrs, Centerbrook and Windham, Conn.

Book Collection Bin Benefits Our Foundation

Do you have books, CDs, DVDs, videotapes, or audio books that you no longer need? The Bolton Community Education Foundation sponsors a “Got Books” donation bin, located at the Bolton Center School parking lot near the Board of Education entrance. Bolton Center School is located at 108 Notch Road in Bolton.

Got Books is a national organization that collects books and then gives them away to schools, libraries, overseas troops, and groups in need. The organization also sells books and other items to benefit various charities.

Each time the collection bin fills, Got Books sends a truck to empty it, and the Bolton Community Education Foundation receives cash for each pound of books donated. So far our total income from this venture has been nearly $1,000! The Foundation uses the funds to support programs and provide grants for the town.

Got Books accepts all books in basic functional condition including hardcover and paperback books, children’s books, cookbooks, and limited copies of textbooks. Also accepted are CDs, DVDs, videotapes, and books on tape. The only reading materials not accepted are encyclopedias, magazines, newspapers, and catalogues. When you donate books, please give them a good toss so that the back of the bin fills as well.
