Gibbons Scholarship Fund Drive
All of the ACI choruses will be collecting funds for the Gibbons Scholarship for Youth for the fall semester, starting with ICC&CS for the next two weeks.  The Gibbons Scholarship was established in 2001 by the Ithaca Community Choruses to honor the choruses' founding director, Paul Gibbons, and to provide a promising high school voice student with the means for musical training.  We will be passing a jar around in which you can make a donation.  The donation jar will be passed on to our other choruses in the coming weeks.  Please feel free to donate what you can.  You may also make a donation on our website at https://acithaca.org/help-keep-the-music-coming/.
Concert Publicity
While our concert isn't until January 18, it's not too early to begin thinking about spreading the word!
 
 - If you belong to groups that post newsletters, have access to physical or electronic bulletin boards, or are seeking Christmas gift ideas for locals, please share info about the concert.
 
- Allen Reed, our resident artist, will develop and distribute material that you can share on posters, web sites, and social media.
 
Ticket sales, which are a group effort, are critical to funding ICC&CS.  In addition to web purchases, next month each chorus member will get an envelope with four tickets to sell.

 The Steering Committee welcomes your publicity ideas and efforts.
