Member Testimonial

“Many years ago a single mom came into our shop with her son who really wanted to take drum lessons, which were not offered in schools anymore. I wanted to come up with a way for kids to take lessons even though they couldn’t afford it. Thanks to Spokes and dedicated nonprofits, we’re doing that now.”
