How an All-Volunteer Band Raised $8-Million During the Recession: Alexander Haas Partner Sandra Kidd will introduce the remarkable story of how a determined group of volunteers put together a public-private partnership that has created not one but two new venues to celebrate the music and culture of the Carolina Piedmont. She will be joined by volunteer leaders J.T. Scruggs, Earl Scruggs Center; Martha “Brownie” Plaster, founder and past chair of Destination Cleveland County; and Emily Epley, Executive Director of the Earl Scruggs Center for Music and Stories from the American South.
