<\/h3>\nMaking music<\/h3>\n
Music plays a big role in Arbco life. \u00a0Two of our members are full-time music teachers, and many others participate in music groups. \u00a0We have a relaxed weekly “sing-along,” and have hosted student recitals, string quartets, Madison’s monthly “music night,” Scottish dance, and the Quaker Meeting’s Christmas caroling event. \u00a0In addition we have presented\u00a0concerts by professional musicians who either live in or are visiting Madison.<\/p>\n

Red Cross Blood Drives<\/h3>\n
Can a blood drive be fun? \u00a0Yes, if it happens at Arbco! \u00a0This summer Arbco will sponsor it’s 10th semi-annual blood drive. \u00a0They have become known as the “coziest blood drives in town,” \u00a0with a comfortable setting, friendly and fun people, and lots and lots of wonderful homemade food. \u00a0And, most importantly,\u00a0\u00a0giving blood is a compassionate gift to the larger community.<\/p>\n
