Dear Friends of
FAIR,
Welcome to another
year of quality programming as we begin our 39th year of
community-based performance and arts education
opportunities! We hope you enjoy this updated program – this
is the first time we have mailed the season program to our
supporters and friends and we are very excited to bring it
to you personally. Please mark your calendar now to attend
the various FAIR sponsored concerts, workshops, and events!
Our executive
director, Colleen Pendry, just competed her first year. She
brought her business and arts experience, energy, and
enthusiasm to FAIR to create new programs and improve
existing ones. The “Teen Jams” have been a wonderful venue
for local youth to showcase their musical talent. Summer
FAIR was a huge success again this year. But this has been a
year of challenges also as we have struggled to raise money
for our programs in a difficult economic climate.
The many fine
programs of FAIR are a testament to the artistic talent in
this community, and especially the talent and dedication of
all of our program directors. Our unique organization is
also a testimony to the commitment of so many of you who are
willing to devote time by volunteering, give money to
support the arts in our small community, and to help us
develop new and exciting programs. The opportunities are
endless, but we do need your continued contributions. We
thank each of you all for your support and hope that you
feel a part of this organization Introduce yourself to us
at concerts and events!
Please help Fine
Arts in Rockbridge reach out to the broader community by
sharing this program with friends and colleagues, sharing
your ideas with us, and by making a tax-deductible
contribution to FAIR. We look forward to seeing you
throughout the 2008-2009 season!!
Jan Kaufman and
John Lambeth
