February, 2006
Dear Friend,
Greetings to you, and a very happy New Year.
This is to advise you that the Annual General Meeting of the Friends will be held on
Thursday 23 February 2006 at 7.30pm in the organ room (Room 205) upstairs at the School of Music, University of Canterbury.
There should be ample after-hours parking in the adjacent car parks but please do not use any user-designated car parks. The minutes of the 2005 AGM and audited accounts for the 2005 year will be available for perusal from 7.15pm . The annual report for 2005 is here.
The current subscription rate is $5 per person, couples $8. Membership entitles you to voting rights at the AGM, receiving mail-outs like this one to inform you of organ concerts, and a generous discount on Ticketek prices for the International Organ concerts. Simply detach and complete the application form below and return it, or present it at the AGM to our Treasurer with your subscription. To claim your discount, simply show your membership card, which will be sent to you together with the receipt shown below, when you book for the organ concerts.
This year marks the 250 th anniversary of the birth of Mozart in 1756. Each of the concerts in our Organ Series this year will include music by Mozart. Enclosed with this notice is a flyer which outlines details of the three concerts.
Please actively promote these concerts among your friends. If everyone brought along just one new person this year, that would be a 100% increase! Why not treat a family member or friend by introducing them to the Town Hall organ?
Any donation of $5 or more over and above your subscription received by the Friends (as a Charitable Trust) towards our work of promoting the Town Hall organ are tax deductible. Would you consider helping us further by adding a voluntary, tax deductible donation to your subscription?
We look forward to seeing you at the AGM and the concerts this year.
Yours sincerely,
David Towns
