Who Is CVSM?

Central Vermont Share the Music, Inc. (CVSM) is a non-profit group formed to produce the Annual Used Musical Instrument Sale. CVSM was organized by Kevin Crossett, owner of GuitarSam in Montpelier, and Jeff Vovakes, owner of Vermont Musical Instrument Repair of Middlesex. CVSM is run by a Board of Directors who implement policy and review all scholarship requests. The Board of Directors includes Brenda Vovakes, William Hayden, and Judith Henken, Esq.

CVSM's Annual Used Musical Instrument Sale provides buyers and sellers an opportunity not available elsewhere in Central Vermont. The redistribution of musical instruments through this sale provides sellers with an immediate opportunity to sell their musical goods, and offers prospective buyers a musical treat to be able to inspect and consider many used musical instruments in one location.

The Annual Used Musical Instrument Sale serves three valuable purposes:
1) Local residents are able to sell their unneeded musical instruments and equipment for immediate cash.
2) Individuals looking for good, used musical instruments are able to inspect and audition several opportunities in one location.
3) 100% of the profits generated by the sale will be awarded to qualified Vermont residents as music scholarships.

CVSM will present the 12th Annual Used Musical Instrument Sale on Friday, August 22 and Saturday, August 23, 2008, as a means to provide music scholarship assistance to individuals. All profits will be directed to the CVSM fund.
