[…] Joe’s M.I.L.L is a non-profit charity organisation founded by Willy High in memory of his band mate and friend, Joe Chithalen, who’s passion for music extended from the stage. He wanted everyone who felt compelled to play music to do so. Joe’s M.I.L.L charity’s goal is to ” Foster music appreciation and knowledge, community enrichment and provide opportunities for youth and adults to meet”.

This is an excellent overview of how Joe’s M.I.L.L. came to be. I’ve been a member of the Board of Directors for almost two years and can attest to the fact that our part-time librarian, Roger Eccleston, and the Board of Directors work very hard to maintain the library’s very high standards.
If you have instruments or money to donate to this very worthwhile cause, please think of us.

May I reserve a simple acoustic guitar for a beginner to try out for lessons starting mid-February through April?

What an incredible unique and life-enriching facility Joe’s MILL is. I would say its one of the highlights of living in Kingston overall. Where else can you borrow an instrument you’ve always dreamed of playing, but never had the chance? I particularly benefitted a great deal from the privilege of borrowing a cello- something I always wanted to try very much. This opportunity brought incredible value into my life, and confirmed that I need to find the funds to invest in one for myself. Roger has been such a pleasure to deal with as well. I truly appreciate his generosity and kind spirit.
Thank you so much for everything!

I’m honoured and delighted to be asked to say a few words about how Joe’s MILL has made a difference in my life and my role in this community.

As a working musician on a fixed income, it would never have been possible to buy, or event rent the variety and number of musical instruments I’ve borrowed from Joe’s MILL over the years. I’ve broadened my musical horizons, learned to play multiple instruments and become a resource to many bands, clubs and charities in the community as a result. I’ve also had the ability to provide instruments for new performers who support various local events that I’ve organized over the years. All at no cost to them, myself or the various establishments we’ve patronized. The MILL has also provided instruments and equipment for many benefit concerts and fundraisers that I’ve been involved with organizing, allowing me to deliver more of our proceeds to the causes we work for.

If Joe’s MILL can do all this for an already musically proficient adult, I can only imagine what they can offer a young person just discovering their love of music for the first time!

As a first-year student at Queen’s University I was unable to bring most of my instruments to school due to the lack of space in residence. Luckily I found out about the M.I.L.L. early on and I was able to keep up with most of the instruments I had left at home. I am now in second year and am a member of the Clark Hall Pub House Band. We open for touring bands that come through town, play at Clark nearly every week, and were privileged enough to be the opening act at Sci Formal this year. I am lucky enough to consistently be able to use a bass and a bass amp from the M.I.L.L. at our shows. The M.I.L.L. has always had an easy-going and positive environment that makes everyone feel welcome. On behalf of Mountain City, thanks to Roger and friends for all of your kindness and assistance. Joe’s M.I.L.L. truly is a magical place.
