Their benefit dramatic reading of Tom Stoppard's play, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, was fun and profitable.

NIMBUS DANCE PARTY  - THIS FRIDAY!

To Benefit Kipp Crawford Memorial Fund!

Dance PartyThe Ashland Schools Foundation and Nimbus are hosting a Dance Party this Friday night, featuring the Santana tribute band, MONTAŅA. This band plays to large crowds in the Lake Tahoe area several times each year, but this is their first visit to the Rogue Valley. Click HERE to sample the band.

This dance/party is a benefit for the Kipp Crawford Memorial Fund which, through the Ashland Schools Foundation, offers enrichment opportunities for the Ashland High School band. ASF is building an endowment that will award annual grants for guest artists and other band enrichment out of the interest on the account, but we have about $4000 to go to reach our goal. Click HERE to read more about Kipp and the fund, and to order tickets online. Tickets are also available at Nimbus on the Plaza in downtown Ashland. $20 pre-sale, $25 at the door.

Come and party (you aren't required to dance!) 
Friday, October 15th
Doors at the Old Ashland Armory open at 7pm for food and beverages. Music starts at 8pm.
  
PASS IT ON to your friends,
post it on your FACEBOOK PAGE,
 
and we'll all have a FANTASTIC EVENING TOGETHER!
