Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

The Lynden Music Boosters would like to publicly thank Mr. James E. Gassman for recommending our organization "as one that makes a positive contribution" to his employer, BP America, Inc. To express gratitude for our efforts, BP presented us with a check for $500.

Mr. Gassman is a former band student (trumpet player). He and his wife have two children that have followed in the trumpet footsteps of their Father. The entire family are wonderful supporters of music and other art programs. Thank you for this wonderful award and donation. It is greatly appreciated and will be used to uplift and encourage our students to progress in their music aspirations.

Mr. Gassman would like to honor the memory of the following band teachers that have had an impact on his life.

John Warden
Virgil Cleveland
Ray Blank
Lowe Bartruff
