Jeff Silberberg

If you're a WAMA member, I was wondering if you could nominate me for a WAMMY. There's a field at the end of the nomination ballot, Suggestions for Special Awards. The special award would be a Community Service award, for my work organizing, arranging for a guest artist, and performing for Sunday afternoon shows for patients, visitors, and staff at National Rehabilitation Hospital in DC once a month and Adventist Rehabilitation Hospital in Rockville MD once a month (since September 2008).
