Events

CMN's gatherings are joyful celebrations of our music, the children in our lives, and the work we do to make a difference in the world. We share songs, ideas, and resources, plus teaching tools, songwriting techniques, community building skills, and marketing tips. In spontaneous song swaps and networking, as well as in structured workshops and presentations, we expand our knowledge and reignite our spirits. Non-members are welcome to attend.
