Our Pledge Drive 2022 is about to begin. We will kick it off on 4/4 with
our annual and highly anticipated Skit. Just so you know, this year we have
a special guest coming from far away to help with our Pledge Drive.


We are, hopefully, at the end of Covid limitations and will be returning to
our usual concert schedule for the 2022-23 season. Typically, we do two
concerts in the Fall and two in the Spring.


Following are partial lists of where we spend and receive our finances:


Revenue Sources: Grants; Ticket Sales; Membership Dues; Donations; Pledge
Campaign


Expenditures: Permanent Staff Salaries; Contracted Musicians &
Soloists; Printed Programs & Marketing; Rehearsal Space Rental; Concert

We are asking you for your support. We would also ask that you spread the
word to family, neighbors and friends so that they, too, can have a part in
keeping the Concert Singers of Cary singing for them and the whole RTP
community.

be made on the CSC website via PayPal or giving cash or checks at

It’s been 3 years since the Town of Cary held the annual outdoor Spring
Daze festival in Bond Park! This year it is on Apr 30, 9-5pm. CSC has a
table in the Cultural Arts row, and we need 8 intrepid singers to volunteer
2 hours each, to sit in pairs at our table (in the shade) and ‘talk up’ CSC
to passers-by. “Hello, do you sing?! Then JOIN US! No? Do you like to
listen to beautiful music? Then COME HEAR US SING! Our spring concert is in
10 days!”. We’ll have handout fliers for you to give people, also souvenir
CDs and old programs (season playbills). To sign up please go here:

Our webmaster Ellen Schloemer is looking for help with a specific and
important activity; organizing CSC photos and graphics. Please look
here for a description of the need, and let her know if you are
interested!
