Thanks to the Jackie Rago and the Venezuelan Music Project for the fabulous concert and dance at El Rio on April 10. We hope to make this an annual event!
We are especially grateful to the following people and businesses:

• Lali Mejia of Spiro Lab who created the graphic design for promotion of the event.
• The wonderful women of the Women Drummers International Board who organized and worked at the event.
• Our amazing volunteers Linda, Elsie, and Ginitta
• DJ La Rumbarosa for her great Latin sounds.
• Betty's List
• Las Palmas for their donation of delicious food for the volunteers and staff.

And of course to El Rio -- our favorite San Francisco venue -- and the Fabulosa Fest who co-sponsored this event and donated the venue.

We are honored to be part of this generous community.

Mission

The Mission of Women Drummers International is to empower women and girls in all aspects of their lives through the message of the drum, which represents not only a musical experience, but a cultural and healing experience as well. We believe that we are participating in a global movement of women drummers at this time on the planet. Women Drummers International is committed to creating a positive and empowering environment for women to teach, learn, and perform this incredible art form.
