Brunch Silent Auction 2017 Spring

March 2017

Dear Friend of CMS,

Sunday, April 30, 2017 Lehigh Country Club

We invite you to join fellow community leaders and supporters of Community Music School’s Annual Spring Brunch, as we celebrate 35 years of providing quality music education to all. This family-friendly event will be held on Sunday, April 30, 2017 at Lehigh Country Club from 12-3pm. The afternoon includes fine buffet dining, a silent auction, and musical performances by CMS students and faculty. It is enjoyed by about 300 guests each year and is the ideal venue to showcase your business as a supporter of music and the arts in the Lehigh Valley. To celebrate our 35th year, CMS will honor the work of the many past presidents of the Board of Directors. The CMS Spring Brunch is our largest fundraiser of the year and helps fulfill our mission to provide quality music education to all interested students, regardless of their age, ability, background, or financial need. Over 57% of enrolled CMS students receive scholarships, financial aid, or discounted tuition. In addition CMS provides extensive, tuition-free outreach programs to teach music to students in under-served, highpoverty schools in Allentown. Your sponsorship and attendance at the CMS Spring Brunch help make all of our good work possible. We encourage you to review the enclosed sponsorship opportunities and select the option that best meets your needs. Whether you choose an event sponsorship, auction catalog advertisement, or silent auction donation, please reply by Friday, March 31 to ensure the highest level of recognition for your support. Thank you for consideration of this important marketing opportunity for your business. We hope you will join us as we celebrate 35 years of music! A formal invitation will follow. We look forward to seeing you at the Brunch on April 30! Sincerely,

2017 Brunch Committee
