Wish you had some cool concert to go to March 15? We have a great opportunity for you! Chamber Singers, Symphonic Winds(band) and Chamber Orchestra are collaborating an annual shin-dig of music at the Civic Center.

Fifty percent of children born to married parents will experience their parents divorce before they are 18. Children of divorce are more likely to need psychological help and are in general at higher risk of having problems in life.
