Please pay your dues with a kind FAVOR—PHOTOGRAPH the SUS label inside your fiddle and send it to me via your phone—————————–
We will make a montage of all your photographs—and create a piglet fiddle poster with all the SUS labels we collect.

CREATING a COMMUNITY COLLECTIVE! TELL US YOUR STORY!
If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a community to raise a family—a family of fiddles, that is.
JOIN the CHALLENGE—With nearly 500 fiddles to the name of Carleen Hutchins, it will take a bevy of SUS owners to create an inventory of the family of SUS fiddles! Can we find every one?
