Social Media Tutorials

In an effort to keep the cost of marketing low, we are moving towards digital marketing and away from print.  A page in the Members' Zone has been created with tutorials on how to forward our e-newsletters through email as well as share our events and invite your friends through Facebook.

Please take a look and please share or invite your friends to our first concert, Russian Romantics on October 29, 2016 - the Facebook event page could use a little social media help: https://www.facebook.com/events/1653817431596334/

Thank you!

Have fun! Get fit! Fund raise for ROCA!

Something a little different!

For many years Scotia Bank has sponsored the Scotiabank Charity Challenge, a half marathon and 5 km walk for a selection of charities.  

Non-profit organizations such as ROCA can apply to be a registered charity. If successful, members and non-members of ROCA can register to participate in either the marathon or walk and designate all money raised to go to ROCA.  Here's the link: http://www.canadarunningseries.com/svhm/svhmCHARITY.htm#Raise

It's so easy!!  All you have to do is register and you will be directed to an online fundraising program, which will direct you on how to set up your own personal fundraising page.  You will need to send out solicitation emails to EVERYBODY you know, but after that everything is taken care of by the program. Family members and friends can also participate with you to support you and ROCA. Every penny raised goes to the selected charity.

Before ROCA tries to register as a charity we need to know if you would be interested in participating in this event.  This year it will be on Sunday, June 25th.

On Tuesday, there will be sign up sheets at each rehearsal. You will NOT be committing yourself, but if you think this is something you would seriously consider participating in please add your name to the sheet. This will give us an indication of whether or not to go ahead with our application to become a designated charity. 

 

 

Chorus Only - Singouts

Hello chorus members

As I mentioned at the rehearsal on Tuesday, we are exploring the idea of doing some singouts in early December, mainly as a community service, but it will also hopefully help to promote our Christmas concerts.

Would you please think about whether or not you would be available to join a singout group which would perform during the weekdays?  I know many of you work, so this won't be something everybody will be able to do. 

Next Tuesday I'll have a sign up sheet ready asking for your name and which days you would be available.

Thanks

Cathy
