Friends of Music at St. John’s
A new organization has been formed called the Friends of Music at St. John’s. The purpose of this organization is to join St. John’s to the local arts scene by becoming a venue for special music performances and bringing music artists to Versailles who perform in several styles of music.
In order to support the individual concerts and the series as a whole as well as bring in quality artists, we have several giving categories: Contributor: $50 Benefactor: $100 (includes 2 free tickets) Gaurentor: $250 (includes 4 free tickets) Angel: $500 (includes 6 free tickets). Checks should be made payable to St. John’s Episcopal Church with Friends of Music written on the memo line. Donations for this new program do not support the regular music program of the church, and the Friends of Music series is not supported financially by the parish. This will be a self-supporting program for the community. Please direct any questions about the series, financial support, or how you might become involved to Stephen Leist (338-9361) or Fr. Alan Sutherland at the church.
Friday, February 26, at 7:00 p.m.
$10 Adults, $5 Students
