Friends of VCS Fall 2015 – We’re A Third Of The Way There!

September 17, 2015

15-16_Season_Web_0815_HORIZ

Every fall we invite you to join the Friends of VCS. Why? Very simply – the arts enrich our lives immeasurably. And you make it possible for us to enrich the community with more music.

Our playlists kick start start the party, calm us down in traffic, keep us going to deadline, and tell us who we are. No matter who we are – young, old, professional, amateur, listener, or performer – the music enriches our happiness, and says what we can’t when we don’t have the words.

We’re particularly cognizant of that last part.

We live busy, sometimes anxious lives in this neighborhood. Everyone pays some attention to the news. We here in the VCS community? We pay extra special attention to refugee crises, government shutdown talk, deployments, elections, and papal visits.

When we’re stuck in yet another Metro delay, or waiting on word of loved ones, the music in our ear buds are what keep us civilized. Sane, even. And when we’re overwhelmed by events, the music says everything we can’t, and gives our emotions somewhere to go. [Read more…]

Mmm….pizza

November 17, 2014

DoughNationDayViennaChoralSociety2011_18_14It’s that time of year, when we ask you to keep us in mind as you make your holiday purchases. You can support us in several ways, but for this week, go with the pizza!

That’s right, if you’re in Vienna Tuesday, November 18, 2014, get your pizza at Donatos Pizza Northern Virginia – and the lovely folks there will donate part of your purchase to VCS.

They make some, you eat some, we get some, everyone happy!

Good all day from 11 am to Midnight.

(Yes, this means you’ll see some of us there after rehearsal. Heh.)

Just be sure to print off the coupon and present to the cashier or delivery person – click on the image or online at  https://viennachoralsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/DoughNationDayViennaChoralSociety2011_18_14.jpg

Thank you, and mangia!

One Last Day

September 29, 2014

It’s almost October! Which means we, at the choir, officially enter concert month: That time of year when we note-pound extra hard, sometimes obliviously so, en route to rehearsal, much to the amusement of people around us in traffic.

You are welcome.

If you haven’t yet, you can still support us for another 24 hours and enjoy several benefits for the rest of the season. If you are one of the many supporters who have already generously given, we cannot thank you enough for your support. And we look forward to sharing the Road Trip with you in a few weeks.

We’ll have tickets at the door, but they are are available online, or through a choir member. And we highly encourage you to get them before show night if you can.

Tickets are:

  • $25 for adults
  • $20 for seniors (65+) and students (15 – 18)
  • Youth age 14 and younger attend free with a paying audience member

Season tickets are also available ($85 for adults, $70 for seniors).

Join us, won’t you? Get your tickets online, or better yet, take advantage of our Friends program, and get a season ticket plus benefits!

Why Become A Friend Of VCS?

September 10, 2014

Friends_Sticker“What do you do with the money VCS raises? Why should I give?” 

It’s a fair question that a new singer raised about our fall “Friends of VCS” campaign. I’ve gotten that question several times in the four years I’ve been involved with VCS. And my answer has never changed: VCS asks for your support because we strongly believe that we are ALL better off with great music and a commitment to the arts. 
Why VCS? That’s a slightly longer answer.

Amazon Makes Us Smile

March 22, 2014

imgresIn the category of news we love as a 501c3 arts non-profit that’s always eyeballing our bottom line, this is news that makes our hearts sing!

VCS joined the Amazon Smile program over the holidays. And now we are able to tell you about it in more ways than one. (Because we weren’t allowed to tell you by email until Friday – odd, but true.)

Basically, if you’re an Amazon shopper, and you’d like to support us, please go to Amazon via this link –
http://smile.amazon.com/ch/54-1406596 – and a fraction of your purchases will go towards supporting us.

You shop as you ordinarily would, we benefit a little – it’s a good deal, yes?

Thank you!

#GivingTuesday 2013

December 3, 2013

GT_12.02.13_HeroTurkey day, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, stay-in-your-pajamas-Sunday*, Cyber Monday…..is it any wonder that someone came up with the idea of #GivingTuesday? We like to give back, which is why we carolled at the Town of Vienna’s Church Street last night and do things like concerts for a cause. But we won’t lie, it takes resources. And like a lot of non-profits, we’re grateful someone did come up with #GivingTuesday.

If you’d like to participate, we’d love for you to think of us today! And if Giving Tuesday is not your thing, you can support us in other ways:

  • Through the Combined Federal Campaign – our designation number is 72195
  • Online via Razoo
  • Through AmazonSmile
  • By check – the old fashioned way! Mail your check to us at 374 Maple Avenue East, Suite 300, Vienna, VA 22180.
  • Come see us sing! Tickets are on sale right now.

However you choose to support us, THANK YOU!

* The day hasn’t been claimed yet. Good.

Love pizza? We sure do. Which is why you might see a bunch of us tomorrow evening before and after rehearsal at Donato’s in Vienna. Click on this link – download, print, and present this flyer, Tuesday, October 29, 2103 at Donato’s (126 B Branch Road SE, Vienna VA) and up to 20 percent of your purchase will go to benefit the Vienna Choral Society.

By the way, the flyer is good for pick up, delivery, or dining in from 11 am to 12 midnight. Which is why you might see a gaggle of us there. Who knows, we might even burst out into song. It’s been known to happen. Although, pizza trumps singing. Every time.

Join us!
