Post # 3: Now We're Going Places!

Hello Readers,

When last I left you, we had not heard from the teachers from the School Without Walls who were organizing a fundraising concert. We still have not heard from them, so we are taking another route. I also mentioned in that post that we were thinking of having a concert on campus that would benefit the school.

This concert would include two a cappella groups: Fermata Thin Air and Malestrom, as well as the glee club on campus: Note to Self. As I am acting secretary of the glee club, I brought it to my other officers' attentions that many schools are going without art programs due to lack of funding. One of them is School Without Walls. My partner for the activist project, Ebony, has gotten in contact with the middle school principle and he is interested in receiving any funds that we may be able to generate. With the glee club and the school behind us, we were a go! Well, one thing was left. The UA of Nazareth College...

While NAz is very active community service-wise, I had no clue if a benefit concert would be allowed. I email a couple of the student members and did not receive a response. I then went to Mrs. Jane Kelly, the woman in charge of many campus activities, and she approved the the project!

In other words... WE ARE A GO!!!!

I will be sure to keep you posted on the progress of the glee club as they prepare for their performance as well as that of the School Without Walls.

Until next time,

Joelle
