President's Corner
by Jack Biddle, President
Kudos to all who are bringing money into the
Chorale! Without you, we wouldn't
exist. Being a major choral group
entails a major budget. We spend a lot of money to bring fine music to
the community. Among our significant expenses are salaries for our staff:
Artistic Director
Assistant Conductor
Accompanists for each of our
ensembles
Administrator
Where
would we be without those super stars?
Other large expenses include venues for rehearsals and performances and
advertising/promotion.
About
25% of our expenses are covered by ticket sales. That leaves 75% to be recouped by dues and
fund raising activity. We would all like
to keep dues as low as possible. And we can do it. How?
FUND RAISING
Over
time our members have raised funds in many creative ways. Just to name a
few:
Naming potential
donors/ticket buyers.
Bringing more dues-paying
members into the Chorale.
Buying scrip.
Obtaining Grants (is your
employer a candidate?).
Attending fund raising events
and bringing friends.
Those
are just a few ways we keep dues to a minimum. You can be a hero to all
dues-paying members by adding other creative ways. What's your way?

What Is The Annual Fund?
by JoAn Segal,
Secretary/Past-President
The Annual Fund appeal is one of the
mainstays of our fund raising efforts. Julie Hale, our graphic artist, has
designed a lovely card, using the same theme as all our publicity pieces, with
a strong message of appeal, and a return envelope which the donor can use to
make a contribution. We had 750 of each
printed.
We then mail these to our general
mailing list, which consists of about 600 names. We use the rest to send
to people we think might be willing to donate. We are now entering the
end-of-year donation period, when many people begin to think about their income
tax deductions, so a tax-deductible contribution to the Chorale, a 501 (c) (3)
corporation, may seem particularly attractive.
This is the third year in which we've
used this technique for raising money. It was initiated by Stephanie
Wanek, during her stint as Fund Raising Chair. In the first year this
campaign raised something over $3,000 and last year we brought in more than
$4,000 in this manner. It would be
wonderful if we can keep it growing.
We'll have Annual Fund cards and envelopes at
rehearsals. If you know of someone who might be willing to be a donor,
please take one and send it - or just give us the name and address and we'll do
it.
Opinion Profiles--Erin
Christensen-Mandel
(first in a
series of people important to the Chorale)
by JoAn
Segal
Many Chorale members may know we have an
administrator, but few of us know more about Erin Christensen-Mandel, who she
is, and what she does for the Chorale.
Erin
is a dynamo of a young woman, now in her fourth year with the Chorale.
Her bachelor's degree from Gonzaga University is in music and she worked there
as an assistant in the Music Department. She is a good cellist and has
performed with the Chorale on several occasions. She currently sits in
the cello section with the Niwot Timberline Symphony and is performing in the
Colorado Cello Choir. She studied literary translation at Naropa University,
earning a Masters degree in 2004 and is a good writer and proofreader. She plays several styles of cello, including
classical, rock and jazz.
Last
year, Erin was Coordinator for the Greek tour and undertook all the linkages
with our tour company. Luckily, she and her husband were able to join us
on the tour. Since our return from
Greece, Erin completed the Member Handbook, which requires extensive revision
annually, worked with Wren Fritzlan on compiling figures and lists for
registration, scheduled all the fall auditions, mailed 600 copies of the Season
Brochure, wrote, prepared, and mailed the season press release to the media,
and has been doing maintenance on the mailing list - one of our most valuable
assets.
Her
position description is daunting in and of itself! Her primary duties include
producing and distributing the monthly Chorale newsletter and the weekly
e-announcements, handling publicity, press relations and media contacts for
concert promotion, assisting in various aspects of fund-raising events and
programs, as appropriate, and assisting Board members on an as-needed basis.
In
addition, in the area of administration, she is expected to see that office
support systems (internet, phone, printer, etc.) are maintained, to assist the
Board with preparation of various administrative paperwork, brochures, flyers,
labels, or meeting materials as needed, to assist the Artistic Director in
scheduling placement interviews and auditions, to report to the Board of
Directors at monthly meetings and at the annual Board transition meeting, to
report to the Board President regularly, to create and post the rehearsal
closing schedule, to assist the Member Liaison with maintaining the membership
roster, to coordinate with Board members as necessary, and to maintain current
files.
In
the area of communications and publications, in addition to the newsletter and
e-announcements, we look to her to maintain the phone/voice answering line and
return or redirect calls promptly, to receive and sort office mail and
distribute to the appropriate people promptly, to receive, respond, or redirect
e-mail as appropriate, to make and distribute name tags to all the singers, to
assist with proof-reading as needed, and to take responsibility for the member
e-mail list.
As
for publicity and advertising, it's her job to write press releases in
cooperation with the Artistic Director and others, to reserve ad space in
newspapers and other organizations' programs for recruitment and concerts, to
create and update the advertising budget and financial reports, to maintain a
supply of press materials, flyers, and brochures, to distribute promotional
materials, to approve our phone book ad annually, to establish and maintain
audience and alumni databases and mailing lists, to prepare labels from
databases when necessary, and to keep up-to-date bios for Chorale staff and
Board members on file.
She
helps with fund raising by maintaining records of Chorale donors and levels of
donation, assisting the Fund Raising and Development Chair with sponsor mailing
materials, working with the Board to increase community awareness and funding
of the Chorale, and assisting in administrative planning and set-up of
fund-raising events.
As
if that were not enough, she assists the Artistic Director and Board with
season concert print materials, assists the Ticket Manager with group ticket
sales and distribution, is present at major concerts to manage ticket sales and
handle "will calls", and distributes complimentary tickets.
Oh,
and I forgot to mention, Erin is hired for only 15 hours' work a week and has
another full-time job! She carries out all these duties on weekends and
on evenings when she is not playing the cello somewhere!
That's
why, when Erin requested that we consider removing the requirement that she be
in the office on rehearsal nights, the Board acceded to her request. She has relatively little time to spend in
the office and carries out much of her work (in an excellent manner) remotely. The Tuesday evening hours were required so
the office could be open during the rehearsal and so members could drop in at
break time and ask questions or seek other assistance. However, for Erin,
the office "ambience" on Tuesday nights was not always an environment conducive
to accomplishing those tasks listed above.
Therefore,
Erin will come to the Church on Tuesday evenings, open the office, see that
valuables are secured under lock and key, and set out the water for sale
and the newsletters and announcements.
Then she will leave to work at her home office on Chorale
business. Board members will make themselves available to answer any
questions for members.

·
Upon hearing that
many Concert Chorale members are
not willing to buy or sell tickets for the Nov. 3
concert because it is just a Chamber Chorale event, the Board members indicated
they were disappointed, but that they understood members' having not yet come
to view the Boulder Chorale as an umbrella organization with several ensembles,
all of which are the Boulder Chorale. We are hopeful this perspective will
change with time. Chamber Chorale members will be asked to take the lead in
selling tickets for the Reincarnations
concert, which is extremely important to the Chorale for much-needed income.

The Newsletter
editor (responsible for content) is Jeff Livesay. The publisher (preparation)
is Erin Christensen-Mandel.
·
All Boulder Chorale members are welcome to attend Board of Directors meetings, or talk with any board member about an issue that we should discuss at the meetings.
Now
Accepting Committee Members and Nominations for a Fund Raising Director
by Jeff
Livesay, Vice-President/President Elect
Hello
all! I'm writing to you today because the Chorale is currently in a
period of transition when it comes to our fund raising efforts - the position
of Fund Raising Director is currently fajel hfe vacant, and we are not meeting our
potential in terms of our ongoing fund raising efforts.
As
you know, fund raising is vital to the sustainability and growth of any arts
organization, and the Chorale in particular. Indeed, almost all of our
goals take money to accomplish, and in order to meet them the Chorale needs to
engage in consistent and effective fund raising activities. It is with
this in mind that I am announcing the formation of the Boulder Chorale Fund
Raising Committee.
The
primary purpose of the Fund Raising Committee is to determine a set of
practical and attainable fund raising goals for this year, and implement
projects to meet these goals.
In
order for our fund raising efforts to be successful, the Chorale needs a person
who is willing to dedicate several hours each week to coordinating and managing
our various fund raising projects. It is for this reason that the Board
created the position of Fund Raising Director, and is currently accepting
nominations for the position.
The
Board realizes that this is a very important position, and potentially a very
challenging one as well. It is important to know that the Board is willing and
eager to support the Fund Raising Committee and specifically the Fund Raising
Director in successfully accomplishing the Chorale's fund raising goals.
And
last, but certainly not least, a big thanks and kudos to those of you who are
already engaged in fund raising efforts - notably the Grants Committee and the
Annual Fund. Your efforts are appreciated, and help make the Chorale what
it is today.
Upcoming Boulder Chorale Benefit
JoAn
Segal will present her one-woman show, One
Old Broad Looks at Life and Death, as a benefit for the Chorale on Friday,
November 16, 7:00 p.m. at the Boulder Public Library Auditorium. Tickets will be $25 each (it's a benefit!)
and will be on sale at the Marketplace on Tuesdays, November 6 and November 13.
Please don't use perfume, scented body products, after-shave or cologne before rehearsals; some of our members are highly allergic. Thank you for being considerate!Job

Administer
and maintain registry and spreadsheet for all incoming sources of
sponsorship. Use spreadsheet information to generate donor lists for use

volunteers for support as needed. Run event and complete all aspects of
event as required.

Get Creative with SCRIP!
by Dede Beardsley
Most of us live very busy lives. Raising funds
for our favorite non-profits seems daunting. But it's crucial to remember
that without funds, most of our non-profits would cease to exist. SCRIP
offers us the opportunity to participate in the financial support of the
Boulder Chorale without doing anything. SCRIP is money in a different
form; right now it's paper certificates and in November it will be gift cards
like other stores. If you normally spend $200 each month on groceries,
you'd buy $200 in SCRIP and use it as cash when you shop.
You
can get creative with SCRIP! If you don't shop at King Soopers, give
SCRIP to your kids. When they're starving, they'll shop anywhere! The
new SCRIP gift cards can also be used for gas at participating King Soopers stations
(kids need gas). Give SCRIP to your mail carrier and your paper delivery
technician. And here's a fab idea from
Risa--give
SCRIP cards to other non-profits like Homeless Shelter or Food Share. That
way, your SCRIP gift is a grand slam--you benefit emotionally knowing you're helping the
Chorale; your taxes benefit because your SCRIP is a donation and your "other"
non-profits benefit as the recipient. It's a no-brainer!
We
earn 5% on all the SCRIP that we sell. Normally we sell about $5000 each
month earning $250 each time for the Chorale - it couldn't be easier. If
each of us committed to just $50 each month, the Chorale would earn almost $350
each month. If we all committed to $100 each month, the Chorale would
earn $675 each month; that's $5400 over 8 months. It's very
possible. The key word here is "committed". You're already
committed to the Boulder Chorale--that's why you're reading this! Now, take one
more step and exchange some dollars for dollars--buy some SCRIP.
Those Were the Days
by JoAn Segal, Secretary/Archives
Excerpt
from the minutes of August 18, 1976:
"The
main purpose of the meeting was to hear from the Costume Committee and act on
their suggestions...The purpose of the committee was to present suggestions for a
uniform dress.
1.
A formal attire - all black - Men in black suits, white shirts - women
in black dresses.
2.
A casual attire - Men in white, long-sleeved shirts with black or navy blue
pants; women in long, wrap-around skirts with a white long sleeved
blouse. The committee would measure and make the skirts, also making ties
and handkerchiefs for the men from the skirt materials. I was suggested
shades of blue kettle cloth be used - shades verying slightly."
They
wouldn't have wanted me on that committee!!

Smoke and a Pancake
by Nani McPherson, Chorale Member
I
was sitting in a cafe in Boulder with a friend (and fellow vocalist) Lily
Delaney and her boyfriend recently. They
studied frantically for upcoming exams; I was intently reading the 6th Harry
Potter book that Lily had loaned to me (in quick review to prepare for final installment
which had recently come out). It
suddenly occurred to me: smokeless. I
was in a cafe, and there was not a single puff of cigarette smoke to be had. Aaaaahhhhhh, clean air. I began to
reminisce about my recent trip with the Boulder Chorale to Greece and the
phrase from Austin Power's "Goldmember" kept popping into my head..."Smoke and
a Pancake"... What did that MEAN anyway?
I grinned - only in Europe.
I
thought back to the various quaint and charming cafes I had frequented
throughout Greece and the Greek Islands. I had, quite by accident, been introduced to
'Crepes with Nutella and Bananas' overhearing my roommate from the trip (Kristen
Weisbach) talk about our fearless female choir director having fallen in love
with them...boy was she right. Nice
choice Kim! (But hey, the strawberry ice cream one wasn't half bad
either...even if I did almost half choke to death on its sweetness...more on
that later)
It
seemed though, that no matter where you went you could have your pancake
(crepes in this case) and a small cloud of smoke would either be surrounding
you from the fellow patrons at the near-by tables, and/or you were accompanied
by your very own ash tray at the table...free of charge. Forget the 'free' glass of water we take for
granted here in the US...that was yours for full price - 'still or gaseous'...bottled
only.
So
let's go back to that strawberry ice cream crepe. If you know me at all, then you know life with
me is never boring. Spend a couple days (or even hours) with me and something
is BOUND to happen...usually to me.
And
here it does.
I'm
sitting there in this quaint outdoor cafe (a small cloud of smoke from the
patrons in front of me circling my head), enjoying this WONDERFUL strawberry
ice cream crepe. I hadn't anticipated
they would add four little dollops of whipped cream on the side of my plate,
nor did I anticipate the drizzling of what appeared to be strawberry syrup and
a healthy saturation of possibly the European version of Heresy's syrup inside
the crepe. All was a welcome delight.
Now
I knew better than to ask for water; they would charge me for it. So I settled
in to nibble on my crepe without beverage.
I
got about halfway through and the mixture of it all suddenly became
overwhelmingly sweet. One wrong swallow combined with an ill-planned inhale of
air sent me into an uncontrollable coughing fit. Half-choking, half-gagging,
I waved the rather concerned wait staff away, tiny tears welling in my eyes- my
meager attempt to assure them I was fine.
Out
of nowhere, a middle-aged gal ran out from the kitchen. Grasping the back of my
head with her left hand, Kitchen Lady proceeded to take her right hand and
stroke the bridge of my nose firmly with her thumb in an upward motion-
painfully smashing the recently developed but not yet fully blossomed zit that
had decided to implant itself on the bridge of my nose. I could do nothing but sit there in utter
shock and disbelief; my hands splayed out to my sides, jaw dropped, and eyes
crossed staring upwards.
Nodding
to herself in satisfaction that I had stopped coughing (with me too shocked to
continue coughing) she left and quickly returned to bring me a FREE glass of
tap water, nodded to me (indicating that
I should nod back) and scurried back inside one last time from whence she came.
I
sipped my free water still slightly dazed from my ordeal and stifled my
remaining coughs for fear that Kitchen Lady might come darting back out and
decide to randomly start grasping and stroking other parts of my body in a
brash effort to save me from myself.
Now
tell me - Where in America can you get 'Smoke and a Pancake' and a good
nose-stroking all from a complete stranger without complete fear of a
lawsuit???
Randall
McIntosh's Missa Tariro
("Mass of
Hope")
At
the May transitional meeting, the Board approved Tim's request for the Chorale
to commission Randy McIntosh to complete the Mass. We performed two movements (Kyrie and
Gloria) last season. We will perform two
new movements (Sanctus and Benedictus) this December, and will premiere the
full 50-minute work with Kutandara early in the 2008-09 season. Plans are developing for a recording session,
with the goal of releasing a CD early in 2009.
