From our eNews:

MESSAGE FROM  
AMSOV PRESIDENT
HELEN SHAFFER
 Houston Symphony Orchestra

 Too many people think of the arts as luxuries, as jewels, things that may not be necessary in times of need, things that can be put off. The arts are inherently valuable, and they're also a part of what's going to get us out of this economic problem we're in.                                                                                   Luis A. Ubinas, President, Ford Foundation

We continue to thank our volunteers for the work they do. As advocate for their symphonies, they promote education, raise funds, and work diligently to see that our orchestras are thriving.

We greet 2012 with great anticipation and hope that you will meet with great success this coming year so that this valuable art form remains alive and vibrant. Shortly, you will be receiving a call from one of our board members. Please let the board member know how we can be of assistance to you. One of our goals is to support you in order to encourage and insure your success.

  We want to remind you to begin making plans to attend the conference in Kansas City to be held Thursday May 16, 2013 through Sunday, May 19, 2013. You will find some details in this e-News.Each e-News and newsletter will continue to add more details so read carefully. These conferences have opportunities for networking and making new friends.

I also remind you of the League of American Orchestras conference to be held in Dallas. This conference will be held Tuesday, June 5, 2012 through Friday, June 8, 2012. There will be excellent programs for the volunteers. Mark your calendars now.

 We look forward to seeing you at the conferences and anticipate a great 2012 for your orchestra.
