Prop 28 Money Is Available for Schools
Remember Proposition 28? Well, in 2022, California voters made a strong statement that we want more funding for arts in the schools.
This makes me happy, because I know the benefits of arts in the schools -- I went to school when we had some funding for things like art, choir, band, etc. I gained the confidence to embark on a singing career - it's a long story.
I'm researching a few platforms that aim to connect artists with schools, so stay tuned...
Best,
Mari

FTC Files Lawsuit Against Private Equity in Health Care
Sharing this for readers interested in the rising price of health care, as we all should be, although, yes, just another thing to worry about.
Well, best not to worry, because all it does is lower your immune system, which makes you sick.
FTC has filed a lawsuit, "challenges USAP and Welsh Carson’s multi-year anticompetitive scheme to consolidate anesthesia practices in Texas, drive up the price of anesthesia services provided to Texas patients, and increase their own profits." https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/2010031usapcomplaintpublic.pdf

Every Day and Sunday!
Every day is a new day, a new opportunity to make someone smile, to learn something new!
I've been on a new adventure this past week, working hard to finance my next album project, and am very excited to be singing at The Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival this weekend!
We hit the downbeat on Sunday. September 24th at 1:00 pm at the Old Mill Park Amphitheatre, just behind the library, which is a mini version of the McHenry library at UC Santa Cruz...but I digress.
I've been looking forward to this gig for quite some time, because if you know me at all, you know that redwood trees are my church, and this is right smack in the middle of a redwood grove.
Hope to see you!
Best,
Mari

Saloon : June 10th 4 - 8 pm
Once again, I will be singing to release many feelings, and to hopefully, give you an opportunity to feel some of your own. It seems that living in this world requires that we shut off our feelings merely to survive. I can't accept that.
June 10th, 4 - 8 pm, The Saloon, 1232 Grant Avenue, San Francisco, CA
I wish you the best possible week until that moment you can spent a few hours with us, and then, we will allow our spirits to soar. If you have other plans, I understand, and will miss you.
Ox,
Mari
