At our 10th Annual GALA Kathy Mazzeo who was our inspirational speaker and also one of our MS Support Group Members, brought two guests. One was her mother the second was a close friend, Laurie Reopell who is employed at CRANE. Laurie was impressed with GALA and the organization which led to her applying for a charitable grant from Crane Fund For Widows and Children on our behalf. We were notified last week that our Foundation was approved for a $5000.00 contribution which she presented to us at last week’s free educational program “Music Therapy and MS: Music Based Interventions for Self-Care.”
