Robin Hoelzle: So being able to allow them to have a concert that is high caliber with great musicians, but then also being able to do maybe a meal with it as well, that we can create a whole evening entertainment for them that fits their budget.
Julie Censullo: On a recent Friday night, 125 Live member Jane Foote played guitar for her community.
