Please come join us if you love music.  Reading music is NOT required.  Many of our members don't read music and yet back a huge contribution with their love and enthusiasm of music. The chorus has aspirations to be as great as possible and the purchase of more risers are an essential ingredient for that plan, as well as, eventually, a better sound system and other appropriations.  However, our ticket prices alone don't meet all our necessary costs.  So we've had a couple of fantastic benefactors who have offered to match up to $400 of funds donated toward our capital fund drive.  Already we have over $200 of raised funds that will be matched but we will happily and appreciatively accept any funds donated from the general population in or out of Grand Dominion. So if you have a few extra dollars you'd like to contribute to the Grand Dominion Singers, whether you're a member or not, please send any amount to Martha Swan, 3260 Bagatelle Ln. 60060-6001 and mark your check for the Capital Fund of GD Singers.  Thank you in advance for your consideration and support.  We do hope to raise additional funds along the way with a few ads in our programs and a "sponsored day" at one of our local restaurants.
