President's Message

Posted on 10/21/03

Hi Everyone,

We've started rehearsal, a triumph in itself. The band is enjoying the conductorship of Mssrs. Gesme and Zerbe immensely. We hope you will join us for a concert in December to see and hear the wonderful literature that these two fine gentlemen have chosen.

Concert Dates
Saturday, December 6th, 7:30pm, Redmond High School.
Sunday, December 7th, 3:00pm, Pinckney Auditorium, COCC.

Tickets
Our tickets will be free this season. We invite you to subscribe to our concert season. For $25 you will receive a pair of tickets in the mail prior to each concert cycle. It's true that we don't have dates for the rest of the season, and it's also true that we do not yet have our 501(c) (3) status with the IRS, so we cannot yet offer you the ability to write your contribution off as a tax deduction. However, we hope that some of you will choose to subscribe just to support the band. Once we have 501(c )(3) status, you can look forward to some chamber music fundraising events

You can send your subscription requests to:
CWSBA
PO Box 906
Bend, OR 97709

And as always, if you have any questions you can call me at 541-389-2035.

What You Can Do to Help
Currently the band is looking for volunteers to staff the concerts by taking tickets and handing out programs. Please call me to arrange times.

We are also seeking several community members to serve on our Board of Directors. The term will start in January and last for two years. We meet on the second Tuesday of each month. Again, contact me.

Yoleen Faerber
President, CWSBA
