Cut off date for making reservations is October 14, 2008.
OVERSEAS TRIP. A conversation is ongoing concerning the Balkans trip. We have had a low turnout, and Ill fill you in on developments once they firm up.
2008 REGISTRATIONS. If you havent done it yet, please register for the 2008 season. Registrations are good for one calendar year, and you must be duly registered in order to qualify for the concerts, hotels, trips, etc. Also, since we anticipate a low income from the overseas trip, try to send in a donation if you can. We will surely need that this year! Donations are tax deductible see below.
DONATIONS. As you probably know, we have kept our registration fee low at $75.00 for lo these many years despite inflation and rapidly escalating expenses. However, I would encourage all to continue to be as generous as you can and have been in contributing to VA-NMMG, over and above that Registration fee. Thank you all who made contributions! See the updated categories on the Registration Form. For registrations using a credit card, go to our secure site www.medicalmusical.org, click on Join and Donate. You may also print the form posted on the website and mail it with your check to VA-NMMG, Attn: Robert Wisleder, 197 Juniper Lane , Hanover , MA 02339-1247 . Please do not use our Washington , DC , or Virginia addresses.
DC PHOTOS, YOUTUBE. As you know, the official pictures from our May 14 concert are now posted. Visit www.medicalmusical.org, click on Photos. While at it, visit our Videos section, recently renovated by Kurt. Another surprise that Kurt pulled off is a VA-NMMG posting on YouTube! It is again of Melodee Mercers news story about us. See it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsqMYhkVQUc. Thanks Kurt and, of course, Melodee!
TIM RUSSERT VIDEO CLIP. I had mentioned a video clip featuring the late Tim Russert as he hosted our very first Congressional Flag Day Concert in June 1996. Kurt has now posted that clip under Videos on our website (it is the last one in the queue). Although the footage is home video quality, it brings bittersweet memories of Tim Russert. Thanks again Kurt!
A Registration Form is attached for your convenience.
Regards. Victor
