Vivace Initiative

Hello Dear TM Members,

Our Vivace Initiative fundraiser for 2022-23 was successful! We received many generous contributions and our total now is $8,533. We surpassed our 2021-2022 total by $1,800. Thank you to all who contributed!

The Vivace Initiative fundraising campaign targets our operational expenses. These efforts are crucial to the financial health of Thursday Musical as we continue to recover from the effects of the pandemic on our audience and membership numbers.

Thank you again!
