DesertBells International, Inc
Presents "Picnic Time"
Saturday, March 28, 2009
12:00 to 3:30 PM
What could be better than a picnic in the springtime with no work on your part, and wonderful entertainment provided by the ringers you see in the above picture!! Many of these ringers, as members of Bronzeworks, have been invited to play the final concert for the American Guild of English Handbell National Seminar this July in Tucson. This is a tremendous honor, as only adult choirs have been invited in the past. And this year an orchestra will be accompanying this choir.
Under the leadership of Kay Cook, Desert Bells International, Inc. has provided an environment in which youth not only learn about music, but also acquire valuable life skills such as responsibility, commitment and confidence for their future endeavors. Your attendance and donation to our Spring Ring and Auction will not only help finance the concert at the National Seminar, but also provide funds needed for scholarships. With the declining economy, more students were in need of assistance to participate in the Desert Bells program. We did not feel we could turn down those students because of lack of funds. Consequently, Desert Bells' budget has been stretched to the outer limits and is in desperate need of immediate funds to continue.
We will be providing space in the program for businesses to advertise, and we also encourage parents and friends to buy space for a personal message to the ringer of your choice. This makes the day even more special for the ringers.
Please call the Desert Bells office for pricing on ads (602-494-7464).
This unique picnic will not only have grilled items and incredible salads, but desserts to die for will be donated by Chef Kim Ptak. And, of course, you'll have ample opportunity to bid on all of the auction items on display. You can also get a tax deduction on your ticket minus $8.00 (the cost of the meal). The location is Camelback Bible Church, 3900 E Stanford Dr in Paradise Valley. Please indicate the number of tickets you would like to purchase on the form below and complete the credit card information; or you are welcome to enclose a check made out to Desert Bells and send them to PO Box 22013, Phoenix, AZ 85028. Tickets are also available on line at www.desertbells.org. If you cannot attend, could you make a tax free donation? Please use the form below.
