Letter from the Chairman

Dear Friends,

           

New Crescendo membership directories are being sent to all current Crescendo members at the  same time this newsletter is being mailed. Please look at your personal entry in the directory. Call Dan Frederick at 641-4680 if your information is wrong or if you do not receive your directory by September 15.

 

We are pleased to announce that there we have planned nine events for you to enjoy in September with other singles. These include a SuperJazz Band concert with dinner after, an elegant evening at the Village Wine Market, a singles mingle, a live theatre production, a French film, and two Alabama Symphony MasterWorks concerts, one with a restaurant dinner beforehand.

 

You are encouraged to invited your single friends who are not Crescendo members to come to our nine various events. This will give them the opportunity to experience what a congenial group we are.

 

Sincerely,

 

Dan Frederick 

 Crescendo Chairman

Thank You

Crescendo wishes to thank Harvey Martin and Terry Smith for serving as welcoming greeters at our potluck supper and pool party at the home of Lory Avsar on August 26.

            We are deeply indebted to Lory Avsar for opening her lovely home and pool to Crescendo for that delightful potluck and pool party on September 26.

Sunday Soiree Sites Needed

Crescendo is actively seeking appropriate locations for our Sunday Soirees held about four times per year. Sties must be reasonably elegant, accessible with convenient parking, permit wine, allow us to furnish our own food and preferably free or priced at under $75. Locations between and including Southside to Hoover and Mountain Brook are preferred. Please call Lory Avsar, 205-969-1956 with your suggestions.

Concert Social Hour Volunteers Needed

Bring your smile, make new friends, and help recruit new members for Crescendo!  We need volunteers to greet visitors stopping by the Crescendo table in the Alys Stephens Center lobby during the hour prior to selected fall concerts sponsored by the Alys Stephens Center.  Please call Vera Tomana, 424-1682, to volunteer to help out at these fun events.

Request for Assistance

Crescendo is in need of a volunteer to assist us once a month. The Area Cultural Alliance now has a website calendar of cultural events. The Alliance requires that Crescendo entries to this calendar be submitted to them in their particular format. Dan Frederick will prepare the calendar in the usual format such as you see in this newsletter, so our volunteer will not need to schedule events or compose announcements. Inclusion in the Alliance’s monthly calendar will gain us considerable additional publicity. Would those of you who would like to volunteer for this monthly assignment please call Dan Frederick, 205-631-4680 or email at dfred4@bellsouth.net as soon as possible? The sooner we start sending our calendar of events to the Alliance’s calendar website, the more people we’ll have to join our organization and participate in our various activities. 

Check Us Out Risk Free

Did you know that you can check out Crescendo risk free?  Our events are open to all single adults.  You do not have to be a member to attend.

Free Newsletter Subscriptions

If you are not a Crescendo member and are receiving our newsletter, you will receive two complimentary copies.  Once you have received your second newsletter, your newsletters will end unless you join.  We are confident that you will want to continue to receive our monthly newsletters so that you won’t miss out on the details of the many exciting social and cultural events we have planned for you to enjoy.  So please make plans to visit us.  Attend some of our fun-filled events this month and next.  Then please join Crescendo. 

Help Recruit New Members

We all want to expand Crescendo’s membership.  You can help.  Please invite your single friends to our many events for singles.  Those of you who have or who can obtain membership lists from singles groups, please get them and arrange to give them to Rogers Alley, Crescendo Database Manager, 205-520-5049 or 205-410-7528 or email bones40k@yahoo.com  Also, please give the names and addresses of your individual single friends who you think might be interested in Crescendo to Dan Frederick, Crescendo Membership Chairman, 205-631-4680 or email to crescendo@bellsouth.net.  Remember, the more members Crescendo has, the more interesting new friends you’ll make at Crescendo events.
