Allstate agent Ron Kaplan’s Volunteer efforts for the American Songbook Preservation Society has been rewarded with a $500 grant to the organization. The funding comes from the Allstate Foundation’s Agency Hands in the community program, which began in 2003. Kaplan, of Aptos, is the founder and executive director for the American Songbook Preservation Society, which performs classic musical works from the 1920’s to the 1960’s. The grant will underwrite the presentation of free and low-cost concerts in the community and throughout the country.
