A letter to Mr. Tony Salazar and The Cliff Valley Music Conspiracy
The Interfaith Children’s Movement of Metropolitan Atlanta is deeply grateful to you and the members of your bluegrass music-lovers group as well as to the members of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta. This year’s Bluegrass Festival, AND LAST YEAR’S Festival, have provided major financial gifts for ICMma that sustain this movement for children. Your ongoing commitment is enabling ICMma to expand our effort to amplify the voices of people of faith who speak for the needs of children and families in Georgia. Your effort is exemplary to all communities of faith, and is vital to empowering advocacy for all children.

Thank you so much for all you do for ICMma!
Sincerely,
Luther E. Smith - ICMma Board Chair
