Call for Concert Volunteers 

movie-tickets2.jpgThe success of our concerts doesn't simply depend on our performance. Putting on a concert also requires non-singing volunteers - family and friends - to serve as ushers, assist at the box office, run the laptop for ticket sales. We rely on spouses/significant others, adult children, family members, and friends to show their continued support to GNHCC by volunteering on Saturday evening, May 31.  As an added incentive, volunteers attend the concert for free!  Please share this email with someone you know who may be interested, or send an email to [email protected] if you or someone you know would like to volunteer.  Thank you!

 
 
Concert Program Advertising & Sponsorship Deadline: It's Today!

GNHCC sponsorship and advertising rates for the 2014 spring concert program book can be found on our website.  The deadline for submissions is today.

 

As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, GNHCC relies on the generous support of business advertising and private individual patron donations to augment revenue.  Other revenue sources, including membership dues and ticket sales, only partially fund the ever-increasing expenses associated with preparing and performing two major concerts each year.

 

As always, we are grateful for your support!
