Nominate talented students

Do you know some students who could benefit from joining Sound of America? You know the quality individual and talented musician we are looking for - if you would like to recommend someone, please e-mail us the person's name and address. Please be sure to identify yourself and year when you e-mail us. In particular - we are looking for more of these singers/players:

Altos - Tenors - Baritones/Basses

Bassoons -Alto Saxes - Trumpets - French Horns - Euphoniums - Percussion.

We do need more CHAPERONES - perhaps YOU! Think about it and request a brochure, if you'd like.

Please help the Sound of America! The SOA Organization depends on donations to keep the program running and to help cover the many costs. As pricing for travel and performances increases, and the US dollar value diminishes, the tour becomes less attainable for students in financial need. Our costs are greater every year, our computers and office equipment is antiquated, and we are working on reduced hours to help make the tour affordable. Your donations would be so greatly appreciated!

Tax-deductible donations are gratefully welcomed from individuals, organizations, businesses and foundations. The benefits to each of the program's participants are numerous and cover multiple aspects. We know that SOA is a program dear to many. We know that the goodwill it brings from America to the Europeans is very important.

If you think our musical enrichment program is worthwhile and you would like to help financially, please make your check out to The Sound of America and mail it to: Sound of America, 50 Brookwood Ave, Carlisle, PA 17015 OR you can log onto www.justgive.org* and donate with a credit card. Donations by VISA or MASTERCARD may be faxed or called to our office.

Each donation is very much appreciated, whether it's $5, $50, $500, $5000 or more. You may wish to donate $5 or $10 every month or a one lump-sum - it's up to you! (For security purposes, do not e-mail credit card information.) Individuals may want to check with their employers to matching opportunities.
