Hi Margaret,
Since this is going out to everyone, it seems appropriate to me to
clarify whether or not we are only looking to collect dues from singing
members. In my mind, the reason folks are on this list is because they
want to associate with the Chorale. Thus, I am encouraging them to be
supportive, in any way, financially or otherwise. Keeping it
unspecified, to my way of thinking, means we aren't pressuring them to
contribute, but we are saying

Hi Rory,
Not sure about the line - Obviously we would love to receive support
from all of our friends, whether or not you are singing. Not sure
what you mean - financial support or any type of support? If $ is
meant, not sure this is the place for that.
Thoughts?

Hi Folks,
This is a reminder that our next choir rehearsal will be the first
rehearsal for the new month.
As you know, our group requests a monthly dues payment from those who
are able to contribute. The suggested contribution is $25 per month. If
you are able, please bring a check to the next rehearsal (this Thursday
at 7pm) made out to Phoenix Chorale. Obviously we would love to receive
support from all of our friends, whether or not you are singing. And we
do encourage all of you to come be with us at the Woods at Canco for
rehearsal.
By the way, our move toward becoming an official non-profit is
proceeding. Once we are, we can look for funding from various grants
and other sources, which will make the need to collect dues less
urgent. But for the present, that is the only way we can pay our
director and accompanist.
Thank you.
Rory Sellers
