Annual Fund Donations
Give the gift of music this holiday season. This year, more than ever, we need your help. A growing number of students have requested scholarship assistance for this season. Your gift to our Annual Fund helps us provide this support. Even just a little bit helps, especially if we all pitch in together. Our official campaign begins in early winter, but if you would like a tax deduction for 2008, you can send your donations in by December 31, 2008. Please indicate on your check that the donation is for the Annual Fund. Donations should be sent to Northshore Youth Symphony Orchestra, P. O. Box 195, Topsfield, MA 01938
