Gala Tickets

A message from Josie Anderson:

Checks for Gala Tickets should be made out to LBSS.

Thanks!

And from me: 

If you haven't told me what you're planning to do for transportation to and from Abravanel Hall, please do so! Here is a link to the handy-dandy form. Or text me. Or reply to this email. Or use the form because it's cool. :)

Till Saturday,

Have a great week!

Julie

NUYS Gala Fundraiser

This email is about the upcoming fundraiser. Another email will be sent about Abravanel Hall. 

The Gala Fundraiser Dinner and Silent Auction (which is scheduled for April 9, 2016, 6 pm, Brigham City Senior Center, 24 N 300 W, $15 per plate) helps fund the general operating expenses of the organization. It's also a fun evening with live music, a silent auction, and a raffle. 

Please find some way to contribute to this effort, even if you cannot attend. 

There are two areas we need help with right now. One is ticket sales, and one is getting donations for the silent auction. 

Gala Tickets

Josie Anderson (from the LBSS board) stopped in today to hand out Gala Fundraiser Tickets. She gave each family 4 tickets to sell, and a letter of explanation. Please ask your musicians about this! They really did take them home if they were there today. :) 

Here is a link to the letter that was sent home with the tickets.

There is a $25 prize for the musician who sells the most tickets from each orchestra.

Gala Silent Auction

Baskets -- There will be nine theme-baskets at the silent auction this year, each put together by different sections of the orchestra. We had a rather boisterous drawing today to determine the theme for each basket. Please bring your basket contribution to Saturday rehearsal anytime between now and the gala.

Here are the results of said boisterous drawing: 

Chamber Orchestra: 

Violin 1 and Viola -- Chocolate Lovers

Violin 2, Cello and Bass -- Movie Night 

Youth Symphony: 

Violin 1 -- Camping and Outdoors

Violin 2 (odd folder #s) -- Game Night

Violin 2 (even folder #s) -- Summer Fun

Viola & Bass -- Man Cave

Cello -- Kitchen

Woodwinds -- Salon "Pamper Me"

Brass & Percussion -- Disney

Other Silent Auction donations

There will be a drawing for $100 Visa Gift Card, with one entry for every silent auction donation. So if you get 5 silent auction donations, you get 5 entries into the $100 drawing! 

We are working on a collaborative spreadsheet so you can see which businesses have been contacted so we don't duplicate our efforts. A link will be sent. 

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who chose to be involved with the fundraiser in any way. We appreciate your support, and we hope you had an enjoyable evening, even though we see all sorts of things we could have done differently, we also enjoyed the evening and were overwhelmed by the show of support.

When we get final numbers of how much money was raised, we will let you know.

With gratitude,

Warmly,

Julie Gardner in behalf of the LBSS Board and the LYS and LYCO staff 

Fundraiser

Greetings!

Okay, I have been remiss in bugging you about this. My fault. So here goes. This is really an enjoyable evening, with the silent auction, and also fresh bread and other door prizes. 

If you haven't turned in a Silent Auction item or purchased Gala tickets, there's still time. Email or text me (435.740.4335) if you sell more tickets so we can coordinate with the caterer. If you bring a silent auction item next week, we can still include it at the dinner that night.

My latest: Cover Up is donating a Box Elder hoodie and a Bear River hoodie! They are so cool. :)

Look around your house. See if there is something nice, and new, you can donate to the auction, or think it through and see if there is a service you can donate.

Please support the fundraiser if you can.

Abravanel Hall + Gala Dinner

Greetings! 

Abravanel Hall:

I just sent reminders to people who had not yet filled out the online form. Now I am reminding everyone to bring the paper permission slip this Saturday! Remember, there will be fresh homemade bread there for all who have already turned in permission slips, or who bring them this Saturday! (Aren't food bribes great?)

FAQ: Can parents come watch the performance at Abravanel Hall?

Yes, you can, but realize that there are only so many seats in the hall, and if you try to come to the whole festival, you may not get a seat, so come occupy our seats when we head for the warm-up room at 10:10 am. Just tell the ushers which group you are with, and they will tell you where to sit (it's right down front, like row 3).

Gala Dinner

Please be aware that the tickets sold for the Gala will be counted each week. Once we have sold a total (between both orchestras) of 200 tickets, the dinner will be sold out. Buy them while you can! They're going fast! Remember, if people can't go, let them know donations count towards the contest as well. :)

Anyone have a solo or ensemble they'd like to perform for the entertainment at the dinner? We need a number or two! Let me know.

Silent Auction items, at least one per family, are due by the end of next week (March 1), if at all possible. 

More info is in an awesome long email I sent in January. Here is a link to the post on the blog.

Still looking for more string quartet volunteers for the Star Spangled Banner gig on Feb 25. :)

Thanks!
