Rincon Rotary partners with Instrumental Music to provide drums for Ventana Vista Elementary.

Shirleen Lee, the Elementary School Band Director at Ventana Vista Elementary, asked for Tubano drums to help students learn rhythms and note durations, and to act as an instrument for student composition or performance. The Rincon Rotary understands the value of music education and partnered with Tucson's Instrumental Music Center to help this educator with the materials she needs.

The Rincon Rotary's support is part of its Rotary LOCAL program, whose mission is to help improve the local community through educational outreach. Rotary LOCAL can provide manpower, resources from local business partners, or in some cases, direct financial support to teachers who apply for assistance. Rotary LOCAL is funded in part by our annual Taste of Chocolate event, a great way to sample local sweets and help teachers at the same time.
