For the board,<br>

you so much, Singers!<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span
style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">It is
time to again <u>express our deep appreciation for the
generosity you extended</u> by donating to our annual pledge
campaign last fall. <u>More than 2/3</u> of us pitched in with
<u>over $6700</u>! <u>This result did us all proud and
strengthened our position in competing for grant funds and
outside donations</u>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span
style="font-family:"Cambria","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span
style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">So,
please know that your pledges were an important part of what
made last season possible and strong and <u>its benefit was
multiplied</u> by the impact it transmitted when we sought
support from outside of our group.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

again! Why? Because we need us.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span
style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Like
almost all arts organizations, we cannot exist without voluntary
financial contributions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span
style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Our
members’ most important contributions are the dedication, talent
and fellowship that make our organization so special and produce
the wonderful music we share with our audience, but your
willingness to go the extra mile beyond that commitment and
dues, music costs and other expense is particularly gratifying
and heartwarming - and essential!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
