NEWSLETTER
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.
Pick One, Pick Two, Pick All!
On any evening when
Crescendo has organized multiple functions, you may come to one, two or
all of them. We’re always delighted to see you!
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.
