$25 Makes OV Thrive

November 17, 2008 - Amid all the economic doom and gloom, I'd like to share a bit of math that actually made me optimistic. Looking over the past season's figures, I realized that if everyone who had contact with OV over the past twelve months (mainstage production, Artscape performances, Holiday Cabaret, OV11, as a singer or instrumentalist, etc.) were to donate $25, we would end the 2008-2009 season not only in the black but with a small surplus towards next season. One of the great hope-inspiring lessons of recent months for me was realizing that lots of people making a small but heartfelt contribution to something they believe in can create powerful change. If you'd like to vote for the economic health of OV click here and make your $25 donation today. If you can give more, that's great. We appreciate your generosity. If you can't give $25, give what you can. Rest assured that whatever the size of the gift, it is both needed and appreciated. Together we can keep high-quality chamber opera going in the Baltimore/Washington area. Many thanks in advance for your generous support. - John Bowen
