With Thanksgiving on the horizon, my thoughts turn to gratitude. I am so very appreciative of the wonderful students and company members I have the privilege of working with, the parents and other local supporters of the organization and all the folks who we've worked with on the road who have made our performances and special event appearances go so smoothly.

After a busy fall heading to far-flung places, we're looking forward to performing a little closer to home in the new year. We will mount our full-length production of High Art at The Historic Elsinore Theatre in Salem on Saturday, January 21, 2012. Tickets are available online now. Hope you can make it!
It should be an especially exciting evening with vocalist, Sasha Lazard, and trio, Deoro (featuring Dave Eggar on cello), accompanying us.
And another exciting note: We just received a grant from Meyer Memorial Trust to support the production of High Art in Klamath Falls and Salem.The assistance will enable us to make the show even better. Thanks so much to the Meyer Memorial Trust!
Education Update

Amazingly, we have zoomed through half of our Fall term already. The classes are our biggest yet, and the kids are learning so much! It might seem early, but you can visit our website to register for the Winter classes now. The 19-week Winter term begins on Saturday, January 28.
And with the Winter holidays approaching, you or your family members might consider treating your child to a Pendulum gift certificate. They are available in increments of $25 and can be used for any of our classes.
Special Event Update
Getting ready to perform at Nike's CLT Event
In late October our talented apprentices did stiltwalking and contortion as part of the Chelsea Hicks Foundation's Masquerade Ball to help raise funds for seriously ill children.
Then, six of our company members spent the evening of November 3 up in the air for an evening event during Nike's CTL meeting. Visitors from around the world were on hand to appreciate the performance.
Looking ahead to January, we'll be heading to Detroit for a private event during the 2012 North American International Auto Show, and then to Tampa for The Special Event, a conference hosted by the International Special Events Society (ISES).
