The grant we received from Community Foundation Grey Bruce allowed us to purchase tap/tablet machines for venues that supported the audience for our students.  It also allowed us to provide support for our large volunteer team.  Without our volunteers, we do not have a festival!
The funds also provided coffee break supplies, personalized name tags and thankyou gifts!
