Jason Cutmore.

Brian Taylor and Don Riso, 3355 Route 209, in Stone Ridge
The benefit takes place at a tipping point for the future of the Festival. At the conclusion of the past season, for the first time ever, we were left with a shortfall of about $12,500. The festival Board has since donated and raised nearly half that amount. There remains $6,500 in residual debt primarily for advertising and the services of our web and publicity staff, who, thankfully, have been very patient.
The suggested donation for this critically important event is $75. In fact, we are hoping that your generosity and support may extend beyond that amount, not only
to retire the debt, but also to provide seed money for a secure and healthy future.
Available governmental and institutional assistance has been continually shrinking. Without grass-roots support from you, our passionate music-loving community, the Festival is in serious danger of being unable to continue. Over the past four years we have come to enjoy, and expect, world-class, yet intimate musical performances, virtually in our own backyard.
Let us resolve to help keep them there.
Please come to the Gala and help support your Festival.The time is now!
David Alpher, Artistic Director
