Thank

Our thoughts go out to everyone who has been impacted by Hurricane Ian. In the
ELFA tradition of giving back, a portion of every convention registration will
be donated to storm relief. We are also exploring opportunities for a community
service project in support of those impacted by the storm. In addition, the
"Build-a-Guitar" community service project will take place on Sunday,
Oct. 9, at 2-4pm (pre-registration required).
