Friends of Connectiut Ballet Dinner

First Love to Dance Benefit Dinner (Feb 2008) organized by Friends of Connecticut Ballet, Fairfield County.

Volunteer power is essential to keeping Connecticut Ballet on its toes. Now is the time to become involved in a new organization and to help make a difference. We would like to personally invite you to join other dedicated and passionate supporters of Connecticut Ballet in our new organization:

Friends of Connecticut Ballet

Friends of Connecticut Ballet provides a base of talented and committed fund raisers who will continue to make such events as the annual opening night gala and “Love to Dance” events successful. We also provide critical assistance to the professional staff in the public relations and outreach areas. As a Friend, this is an opportunity to learn first-hand about the exciting world of dance, and to have some fun while making a difference.

For a limited time, basic annual membership in Friends of Connecticut Ballet is being offered for $50. A portion of your gift will help to support the operating expenses of Connecticut’s only year-round ballet company, the balance going to support members-only Friends of Connecticut Ballet events. Your contribution is fully tax deductible.

Most importantly, your membership will bring you even closer to the exceptional artists and artistry of Connecticut Ballet. Become a member today!
