Dear DMA colleagues and friends:
This message is to thank you for the
amazing outpouring of support our family received after the sudden death of my
husband in July. Your calls, visits, wonderful food, and your continued
invitations and support have made a very sad and difficult time more bearable
for all of us. My daughters and I have been overwhelmed by your generosity and
loving care, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. In times of distress,
you find out what people are made of, and you are all the very best!! Thank you
so much, Mary Jungerman, Lois and Clara Geertz

Striking Detroit Musicians' Concert to Be Televised
|
By DANIEL
J. WAKIN The New York Times October 14, 2010,
The striking musicians of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra have won a small propaganda
coup. A local television station, WADL-TV38, has decided to broadcast one of
their concerts, a program on Oct. 24 at a church in the affluent Detroit suburb
of Bloomfield Hills, Mich. The musicians went on strike on Oct. 4 over wage and
benefit cuts and work rule changes at the financially troubled orchestra. They
have been playing concerts on their own, to earn publicity and money to support
the strike, a common practice in such disputes. The program features Vivaldi's
"Four Seasons" and Brahms Symphony No. 2, conducted by Joseph Silverstein. Read On

Performer Pass Acceptance at the CCC Garage!
|
Effective immediately, Performer Pass Coupons will
be accepted for parking use, at all times (excluding CCC garage specific
Black-Out dates), on the P2 level of the Convention Center Garage. Click Here for detailed information sheet that outlines the specific instructions for Coupon
use. Please be sure to distribute this important information to all your
organization team members. The Performer Pass Coupon can be used at the CCC
garage at nearly any time, regardless if there is a Black-Out date at the DPAC
Garage, or not. The only exception to the Pass use is if the CCC Garage has
it's own specific Black-Out date based on their facility parking needs. Use of Performer Passes is also subject to the Master Black-Out Schedule for both garages.
Because the two parking garages use two completely
different parking management systems, a simple low-tech procedure has been
established to accommodate Complex employee parking at the CCC Garage.
Basically, Coupon holders wishing to park in the CCC garage just need to
follow3-Easy
Steps:
1.) Park on Level P2,
2.) Write the 4-digit vehicle
stall # on the Coupon, and 3.)
Drop the Coupon into a locked drop box located along the route to DPAC.
We are very delighted to include the CCC Garage
into the Performer Pass Program - it certainly expands employee parking options
in the immediate area.
Reminder, the first DPAC
Only Black-Out date of the season is
Saturday, October 16th!

These are designated high volume dates as the Holiday Season approaches, and will also affect parking in the Colorado Convention Center (CCC) garage. Immediate dates in the DPAC garage are
Saturday, October 16
and Saturday, October 23.
Please make alternate arrangements on these specific dates, and be sure to allow plenty of extra time.

Report Shows Widespread Income Disparity in Metro Denver |
|
Unemployed worker, Kelly Wiedemer, has applied to over 600 jobs since she was laid off two years ago. After moving back in with her mother, Kelly struggles to find money for basics such as food and toilet paper.
"The only employers that are starting to hire again are in low paying sectors and those wages don't amount to enough to make ends meet. There just aren't enough good-paying jobs and there aren't enough services for people stuck in my situation," Kelly notes.
FRESC just released a new report which brings to light the widespread income and racial disparity in the Metro region and shows why people like Kelly are having a hard time getting by. It's based on new Census data for 2009, released in September, that is the first look at the so-called Great Recession of 2008-2009. Click here to read our report.
The Denver-Aurora Metro area saw high poverty and income inequality in 2009. Median household income for African Americans in the Denver Metro area declined by a staggering 23% from 2007. Uninsurance rates for Denver were 20%, significantly higher than at the state and national levels.
FRESC continues to organize and advocate for policy and systems change to build an economy that works for all families. To support this work, please donate by clicking here. Your important contribution will help us build a better economy in the Metro region.
Read more about Kelly and the new data here.

What's Missing? (Besides Jobs)
|
A corporation cuts jobs in your community and moves them overseas-and
nobody seems to notice. Hardworking people are left jobless, but outside your
town, it doesn't seem to make a ripple. Meanwhile, corporations keep shipping
jobs to wherever they can find the cheapest labor and fewest safety regulations,
and Republicans in Congress keep blocking laws that would keep jobs here. Soon
enough, you realize that if you hadn't seen it for yourself, you wouldn't know
what had happened.
That's
what Working America designed Job Tracker to fight. And it's why we're asking
for your help.
Job Tracker already includes information from multiple government agencies
showing every company we could find that's exported jobs, but we know that's
just the tip of the iceberg. We need you to tell us what corporate bad
guys are missing in your community.
Here's what you do. Go
to Job Tracker and enter your zip code to pull up a map of
companies that have exported jobs from your area. Is anything missing?
If you know of a company that's outsourced jobs and it isn't listed, click
this link to tell us about it. Once we've substantiated your
report, we'll add it to Job Tracker.
Corporations have gotten really good at slashing American jobs without
attracting widespread public notice. Together, we can make it harder for them to
hide, and easier for us to pressure Congress to crack down on abuses like tax
loopholes for outsourcers.
In solidarity,
Working America, AFL-CIO
P.S. Help spread the word. Tell
your friends about Job Tracker, and encourage them to report
missing companies, too. |

21 concerts this fall. We also can always use more strings, especially violins.

Rehearsals are on Sunday afternoons from 3 - 5:30 PM at Ridgeview Classical

Call for GBYO brass
musicians
| Dear music teachers,
We're very excited that many people are
showing a great deal of interest in the new Greater Boulder Youth Orchestras,
and we've already received more than 150 audition applications. However, we're
light on brass, especially low brass. We have trumpet players, but need horns,
trombones, and tuba.
We are only a few brass players away from
assembling a full orchestra, and I hope you'll join me in seeking out talented
and enthusiastic brass students to work with Maestro Gary Lewis, the artistic
staff, and the GBYO mentoring program in this inaugural season. It promises to
be a tremendous year full of wonderful opportunities.
I'd also like to remind you at this time
that all GBYO musicians are required to participate in their parallel school
music ensemble and take private lessons.
More about our programs and conductors,
and an audition application, can be found online at www.greaterboulderyo.org
and I'd certainly be more than happy to talk with you about the coming
year.
Thanks!
Brian Jack
Executive Director, GBYO
