Community Update: August 2016
In this edition: We’re officially a 501(c)3; we got spontaneous; and we stayed happy!
We’re officially a registered 501(c)3!
Hot on the heels of incorporating in WA State, we are now officially also recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. This means you can support us in a way that is also tax-deductible. Please support us!
We got spontaneous!
Pssst. This is our best-kept secret. Through our Spontaneous Free Tickets program, we have given away more than 200 free concert tickets this year. The tickets are donated by local performing arts organizations like the Seattle Chamber Music Society, Northwest Sinfonietta, and Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra. We want to give you tickets. Get in on this goodness!
We stayed happy!
It’s been rough for some of us to maintain our sparkly happy glow under Seattle’s weirdly cloudy “summer” skies, but one thing that has helped immensely is the New Music Happy Hour that we co-host with KING FM’s Second Inversion! It was wonderful to sip and snack among a few dozen friendly smiles on July 19. We’ll continue to meet monthly-ish; subscribe to receive dates as we schedule them. (Yes, NMHH has its own mailing list!)
