President's Message

Since 1995, the League has, with great pride, donated to the Symphony over $1.5 million dollars, earned by hundreds of dedicated volunteers contributing thousands of hours of time and effort. Energetic League members plan and implement exciting fundraising projects that have included dinner dances, luncheons, silent and live auctions, small concerts in homes, major tours outside the area and local trips to sites of cultural interest.

Together we can make a vital contribution to the continued growth of musical excellence in our community. We invite you to join the League by requesting a membership packet from one of our Membership Vice-Presidents Marian Fleming (805) 496-8296 or Audrey Collett (805) 495-4216.
