The George Washington Carver Community Center is starting a drumline and is encouraging donations of bass and snare drums so youth can participate in this group.
Flagler County Commission Chair Nate McLaughlin, who is also a musician, donated a full drum set to the Carver Center to help it in its efforts to get the Drum Corps going.
“This will be a great program,” McLaughlin said in a press release. “I didn’t make Little League as a kid, but my dad asked me what I could do. I got a drum set, and music has been my thing ever since.”
Those interested in making a donation should contact Rev. Elijah Emanuel at 386-338-8714, or by email at [email protected].
