Music Authority Family Newsletter - March 26, 2024 What Are You Investing In? Martha Berry, founder of Berry College in Rome, Georgia, started her career as an educator teaching poor mountain children. These children were academically able, but finances prevented them from attending school. Her school proved to be successful and soon, she was unable to support the school financially by herself. So she went to her father's friends, and their friends, and their friends, steadily building a financial support system of donors. One day, she was given the opportunity to talk to Henry Ford, the car manufacturer from Michigan. He listened to her story about her school and her children, and gave her the only money he had on him at the time - a single dime. Miss Berry invested that dime in peanut seeds that her students would turn into a crop. Once harvested, the crop earned enough money to buy a grand piano. Mr. Ford was so impressed with Miss Berry's resourcefulness that he would become a donor to the school, ultimately building the Ford Complex, at a cost of over a million dollars, an impressive price tag for the mid 1920's. So what does that have to do with Music Authority? It's all about the seeds. Our teachers plant seeds every day. Seeds of music, courage, self-esteem, and teamwork. Your students take those seeds, care for them, water them, and harvest them. The fruit of their crop they take with them when they leave Music Authority to go out into the world - to become surgeons, attorneys, teachers, and musicians.  They change the world with the seeds we plant. And you? You're Henry Ford. Every time you buy a guitar from us, or a drum set, or a piano, you're investing in Music Authority and in your children. You are the ones who allow us plant seeds, to build better programs, to offer activities like recitals and Spring Shows. I know we aren't the flashiest or most exciting music store around. But when you trust us with  your purchase, you know where your investment is going - to a family operated business with owners who have dedicated their lives to supporting our students and our community. So, before you make that next purchase, I want to encourage you to consider - what are you investing in? Melissa A.
