Dear Iowa Community Cultural Grant Committee,
This letter is in support of the Northeast Iowa School of Music's request for funding for a
full-time Office Manager. Dubuque is fortunate to have this resource for music education
opportunities. We have been pleased with the work the music school has done teaching
classes to low- and moderate-income families at various downtown locations, with
funding being supplied by our Community Partnership Program.
A full-time Office Manager will allow the Northeastlowa School of Music to continue to
offer programswhich benefit the members of our community. Thank you for your
consideration of NISOM's request.
Sincerely,
;1t/j ft;'YJJfYz~
