Hi everyone,

Well, it's that time of year, again. You made such a difference to the chorus with your generous donations last year. So generous in fact that I am able to be here again to ask for your ongoing support. Thank you for that.

Last year when I reached out ot you the chorus was $200K in debt and we were in danger of not being able to present a 30th season of song and outreach. With your generosity coupled with the dynamic leadership the chorus is receiving from an incredibly talented group of men and women who are leading the organization our debt is now about $50k and it is continually being chipped away.

All three concerts this past season made money - it's been a long while since we could say that! We've opened the chorus up to a new audience that is helping to widen our support base and we've been able to expand our repertoire to music I would never have imagined. Me and Lady Gaga - do you see the connection? Yes, I thought you would!!

You know how I feel about the chorus. My love, devotion and respect for the chorus and the men and women who make it continue are impossible to express in words. I keep on singing; I keep on fundraising and I keep on believing that the chorus changes lives through song and a positive commitment to making a better world for us all.

Times continue to be tough for so many of us. I understand that now may not be the best time to ask you to reach into your pockets and send some financial support to us again. Nevertheless, I'm doing just that. Any contirbution you can make will mean so much to the chorus and to me.

Your continued support humbles me and makes me more grateful than I can ever show you in return.

With all my  love and thanks,

Mark
