<div align="left"><font size="4"></font> </div><div align="left"><font size="4">Dear Chorus members,</font></div><div align="left"><font size="4"></font> </div><div align="left"><font size="4">The Concert Singers of Cary Board of Directors is asking you for your support in this, our only pledge campaign for the year 2011.The economic crisis that is gripping our country on a large scale is also making itself felt to those of us in the Arts who look to monies from grants and sponsors to help fund our programs. We all need to pitch in if we expect to not only continue as we have in the past, but look ahead to the future. Contributions, large or small, can still be made through January 15th to be included as a deduction in your 2011 tax return. It is very easy to make a payment on-line by going to <a href="http://www.concertsingers.org">www.concertsingers.org</a> and just click the star at the top of the Homepage. Think of it as giving yourself a paycheck - you are the one who benefits!</font></div>
<div align="left"><font size="4"></font> </div><div align="left"><font size="4">We thank you for your support.</font></div><div align="left"><font size="4"></font> </div><div align="left"><font size="4"></font> </div><div align="left">

We can, however, put any flyers of any sort (within reason, obviously) on the table in front of the Marcus Dry room (our rehearsal room) during Monday rehearsal time.</font></div>
<div align="left"><font size="4"></font> </div><div align="left"><font size="4">See you at rehearsal!</font></div><div align="left"><font size="4"></font> </div><div align="left"><font size="4">Ingrid Speakman</font></div>
