Welcome to Swing and Strings Weekly # 21
Hello everyone and thanks for being patient for our weekly newsletter! We've been deep in grant writing this week so we'll keep this one bare bones. We put together a really exciting application for the Wake The Great Salt Lake project which will integrate the arts into addressing the challenges facing our lake in a really cool way. We're excited to see what the community comes up with and keeping our fingers crossed.
In the meantime, we'd like to keep you all up to date with what's happening in town!
May the stoke never die.
