Dear Matt,

The Creative Access concert at Gallagher Services on February 7th was a great success. The counselors who brought residents to the concert said that they were looking forward to the concert as well as the individuals from their homes. Your reputation preceded you! Since the concert, I have heard high praise for the music as well as the spirit of your group, and we are all looking forward to your next visit.

Gallagher Services' Mission, "to open the door to a fuller life for people with developmental disabilities and those who serve them," was surely fulfilled by your music and song. Please extend our gratitude to Jessica, Ronni, Michaela, Alejandro, Adam, Cory, Rose, Leo and Cara for a wonderful musical Saturday afternoon. Your sharing of time and talent is greatly appreciated by the whole Gallagher Community.

Sincerely
Jim Hillman
Gallagher Services
Manager, Resource Development

Robert Sirota, Director
The Peabody Institute

Dear Mr. Sirota,

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a wonderful performance by The Creative Access performers of Peabody's Student Outreach Initiative. It took place at My Sister's Place Lodge, a Catholic Charities' transitional housing program for chronically mentally ill women.
The group included Zoe Johnstone, Jessica Renfro, Ben Altman and Matt Carvin. They were not only talented but also engaging.
Our women at the Lodge don't usually have opportunities such as this and are very appreciative of the student' gifts of both time and talent. What a tremendous resource your school provides to the Baltimore community!

Sincerely, Angelo M. Boer
Catholic Charities
Director of Community Services Division
