HI! Yes, it's true, I am blogging. Why am I blogging? Mostly because I have a student intern who insists that this is effective marketing for the orchestra. Since she is considerably younger than I am, and is much more techno-savvy, I will believe her. So here we go---onto the blog.
We are looking forward to a great weekend. This is the first annual orchestra rummage sale. It has been so much fun gathering items and promoting this event. We have a preview party, with music on Friday night from 6-8 pm. For $10 per person you can have first crack at a great roomful of items. There are holiday decorations, jewelry, clothing, toys, books, cd's, dvds, and plants! on Saturday from 8 am to 12 pm we will sell away! At noon we will close the doors and when we re-open, everything will be $1 a bag! Bargains galore!!! We are at the Sauk Rapids Community Room, 115 2nd Avenue North in Sauk Rapids.
Fundraising is hard work, but it is good work. All the money we make goes to help keep classical music alive in our community. Of course, a few really big checks would make life easier! But every donation, every little bit and medium bit and big bit, helps. I read something in a fundraising book a few years ago that has stuck with me--donating to something is a privilege because you are building your community with each donation. What a great way to look at this.
Whether it be the orchestra or any other community organization, I hope you will donate to keep our community a wonderful place to live! Remember it is not an obligation, it is a privilege.
My best to you,
Sandy Nadeau
