thank you

 

Eigse CIM Student Ensemble 

 

Heartfelt thanks from  

the Center for Irish Music for your support of the 2011 fundraising event.

 

Eigse CIM finale 

 

The tally is in. In just one evening, we raised over $5,750 in support of the school's operating costs. As the final Silent Auction items are claimed in the coming days, we will likely see this total climb even higher!  

 

These are critical funds that will support CIM's daily activities, making it possible for our students to continue to receive private lessons, attend group classes and workshops, and learn from the internationally respected guest musicians that CIM hosts throughout the year. 

 

We truly could not provide these unique opportunities to our students, or to the community, without your support.   

 

Thank you!

Silent Auction and Raffle Donors: What an inspiring outpouring of support we received through donations to the Silent Auction and WOW Raffle (Walls of Wine, Whiskey & Winter Ale). Our guests enjoyed a good deal of friendly competition over claiming your tempting donations, and we handily beat our previous fundraising records for both the auction and the raffle. 

 

A thousand thank yous to you all!

Lastly, we would like to thank the CIM Instructors for donating the outstanding gift of their music to the event.  As always, the audience was moved by the skill, beauty and artistry in your performance.   

 

Thank you for your generosity and leadership every day at CIM!

Éigse [eg-shuh] is an Irish word used for festivals celebrating traditional Irish arts and culture. It is in this spirit that we gather for a sparkling evening to raise funds for The Center for Irish Music and their mission of handing down traditional Irish music.
