A Special Appeal from the Board
November 23, 2011
Dear Friends of the Suzuki Association of the Greater Washington Area,
As a board member entering my sixth year of service to SAGWA, I am proud to represent the area’s Suzuki families and teachers as board chair to this organization as it begins its 37th year. I am a “grown up Suzuki student” as well as a performer, violin teacher and parent of Suzuki students, and I am hoping you will join me in this season of celebration and giving by supporting our organization with a donation.
Funds for our need-based scholarship program and our yearly events are at very low levels. SAGWA needs your help to keep these important programs in place. SAGWA’s scholarship fund is in its eleventh year and as of last year has awarded over $40,000 in lesson scholarships, serving 61 families and 80 students with emergency and student enrichment scholarships for private lessons as well as event and institute tuition. The programs supported by SAGWA include our yearly String Festival, Greater Washington String Institute, Greater Washington Piano Institute, Greater Washington Flute Institute, weekend Celebration workshop, outreach performances, teacher workshops and training courses, Area Wide Piano Recitals with many more exciting events in the planning stages.
Giving to SAGWA is easy, rewarding, and a great way to lower your tax liability at the same time. SAGWA is a 501(c)3 charitable organization. Attached to this request is a link for you to make an online donation. You may also print out the attached form and mail your donations to our SAGWA treasurer. We very much appreciate any size gift by check, credit card, online or pledge.
We thank you in advance for your generosity and for enabling us to continue to allow others to experience the joy and growth we experience as students, parents, and teachers of music. Thank you for sharing our belief that, as Dr. Suzuki taught, “Where love is deep, much can be accomplished.”
Sincerely,
Stephanie Flack
SAGWA Board Chair
