Support Us
With the Canadian dollar at a record low, it
will become increasingly
more difficult for us to bring world-class artists to our Vancouver
stage. As you know, ticket sales contribute to only a portion of our
revenue, certainly not sufficient to cover the many expenses of putting
on a concert. Can you lend us a helping hand by considering a donation
to the society?
Any donation, large or small, will be appreciated. And your donations
will help us continue to bring you great performances by great
performers.
You can help us by sending a cheque to The Vancouver Chopin Society,
#400 – 601 West Broadway, Vancouver, B.C., V5Z 4C2 or call us if you
have any questions: 604.871.4450.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of The Vancouver Chopin Society, we
thank you for your continued support.
