*WCPE - update on our fund raising*
**

Dear Choir,


Here's where we stand on the project to raise funds for WCPE:

As of Thursday, March 29, we have $385 contributed by a total of nine
donors, and things are looking good for the first four days.

I'll be at rehearsals to accept donations.  And for you who are not singing
in our Spring production, you can send your contribution by snail mail.
That goes for lapsed members who haven't been singing for a while but are
still on the roster (and this email list.)
You can mail a check to either:  Joe Ferguson
Concert Singers of Cary
                                                   114 W. Marilyn
Circle     or      P.O. Box 1921
                                                    Cary, NC
27513                     Cary, NC  27512-1921

The check should be payable to: "WCPE" with "CSC Project" in the memo area.

SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Question:  Can I send my donation directly to WCPE and have it count?
Answer: Unfortunately, no.  They are not set up to track projects like
this.  We batch the checks/donations and send the batch to WCPE in one
package.  Then CSC gets the credit for the entire batch.

Question: Will you take cash?
Answer: Certainly!  But not by mail, please!

Question:  What about my tax receipt?
Answer: WCPE will acknowledge your gift with a letter that will pass IRS
scrutiny.

Question:  What about the coffee mug or baseball cap that depends on the
size of my donation?
Answer:  That's what you give up to support the CSC in this project.  The
CSC gets the big prize!

Question: What is it that Concert Singers gets from this, again?
Answer:  CSC gets a WEEKLY plug on the station as being a supporter, as
well as a link to the CSC web site in the WCPE we site (
http://www.wcpe.org/ ). That's 52 announcements over the course of the
year.  The past two years we raised over $2000 and got two announcements a
week, for a total of 104!  Their paid announcements cost $60 per mention,
or cheaper by the dozen at $50 each.

Question: So what's in it for me?
Answer: You get to help two great community organizations.  The CSC serves
the Triangle area, and WCPE broadcasts to the eastern part of NC and parts
of Virginia, and it has internet listeners throughout the world.

Question:  What is the deadline again?
Answer: We want to get this wrapped up and mailed in by mid-April.

Thank you for your participation!!
