"What a remarkable evening," said MAN President & Treasurer Bob Tomberg. "Who would have imagined you could have so much fun trying to make a difference in the world. I think Music Aid Northwest is just hitting its stride by providing an opportunity for philanthropy as well as a very, very, good time!" White said, "It was great to start the year off on such a positive note, raising money for youth programs, music outreach and advancing these partnerships in our local community. I'd like to thank all who participated; my hope is that this is just the beginning of what Music Aid Northwest will accomplish in 2007." Fisher added, "The people involved were positive and a pleasure to work with. To see such a great turnout was very pleasing, as it helps assure me that as we approach an unprecedented time in humankind, there will be a lot of help given by many..."
