Bonnie Raitt gift sparks need for guitar instructor

Advertiser Staff

A volunteer guitar instructor is needed to help teach basic skills to kids at the Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii's Wai'anae Clubhouse and take advantage of seven guitars donated several years ago by singer Bonnie Raitt.

"We were so fortunate to receive these guitars from Ms. Raitt," said clubhouse director Puamamo Wa'a.

Wa'a wants to offer one-hour guitar classes twice a week for clubhouse members, ages 12-17 years old. "You don't have to be an expert guitar instructor to teach these classes," said Wa'a.

For more information about the clubhouse or to inquire about becoming a volunteer guitar instructor, call 696-2754.
