Ways to support the Conservatory:
Thanks to many generous donors our fund is up to $2205! Our scholarship deadline is April 24th, so if you’ve been thinking about contributing, now is the perfect time! We’d love to be able to award $4000 in scholarships to encourage our hardest working students in their musical journey. You can donate online here or by cheque/cash at the Conservatory.
As we mentioned in an earlier newsletter, we’re planning on doing some landscaping at the front of the Conservatory, and we have the perfect way for you to lend your support! Between May 8th and May 17th (at 5:30pm) 10% of purchases of bedding plants, annual planters/hanging baskets, vegetables and herbs made at Art Knapps Plantland will be given to the Conservatory! All you need to do is bring the attached letter (printed or digitally) with you and present it before your order is rung through. Mother’s Day is May 10th, so you could show your love for your Mom and the Conservatory at the same time!
