Weekly Wednesday Picture Post

Hello All!

Once again we have a wonderful picture from the 2011 Holiday Fundraiser Concert. It was a fun event where people could talk and socialize over food and drink and listen to great music.

This year we will once again be using Fractured Atlas to host our fund drive. There will be many fun thank you gifts for each of the giving levels. With many options, and lots of fun rewards, this is a great idea for a music lover in your family. Some of the gifts include mugs, tote bags, programs and posters signed by the musicians and composers, and even tickets to some of the 2013 Festival events. If you are unsure of what to get your arts loving friend for the holidays, you can make a donation in their name and give them the thank you gift!

Be sure to spread the word about the campaign. Every dollar counts and you never know who may be interested in helping our organization. We will update you as soon as the fund drive is up and running, so keep an ear open!

Post-Wednesday Holiday Picture Post

Hello and Happy Holidays! 

         I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and and friends and a couple of days off of work. In this week’s post, we have a picture from the 2011 Holiday Fundraiser  concert. The evening included wonderful music, food, drink, and friends. This year for our fundraising drive we will be utilizing Fractured Atlas and their hosting services. We have done this before and hope that this year will be more successful than ever. For that, we need your help.

On the Fractured Atlas website, there will be a page featuring our fund drive. (We will post links as the time comes.) On this page will be a video and information about the organization. Please share this with friends! Many of you are already aware of what the Women Composers Festival of Hartford is and does, but your friends and family may not. The video will be short and sweet, so share it. You never know who may become interested in our cause. There will be thank you gifts for the various donation levels ranging from $1 to $500. Every penny counts so please spread the word and help to support this years festival and musicians.
