Support the Girls
The Bylaws of Austin Girls' Choir provide adults of the
Austin community with a wonderful opportunity to become involved in the
growth and support of this fine organization. Any person eighteen years
of age or older may become a Friend of Austin Girls' Choir upon approval of the Membership Committee of the Board of Directors and payment of the annual membership dues ($30.00).
Austin Girls' Choir, the nonprofit 501(c)(3)
corporation, supports two choirs that provide topnotch musical
education and performance opportunities for girls aged eight through
eighteen. Choristers from Austin and surrounding communities join the
Choir through audition, and make written commitments to participate
regularly in rehearsals and performances. The girls represent a broad
socioeconomic range; several require assistance with tuition and
expenses (funded in part by Friends of AGC dues). Choir ensembles sing
frequently in Austin and tour twice per year.
Friends of AGC may join at any time
during the year. The Annual Meeting is held on or close to the first
Friday in September. At this meeting, the Friends, who are members of
the corporation of Austin Girls' Choir, elect the Board of Directors
(each director to serve for one year), and receive reports regarding
organizational progress and goals. Friends also receive a quarterly
newsletter, advance notice of upcoming performances, and opportunities
to enjoy special concerts. Those who wish to become more actively
involved are encouraged to participate in various committees devoted to
fundraising and promotions for the Choir's performing groups, volunteer
for minor tasks, and assist with recruitment efforts.

Scholarship Donors
The Holt, Rinehart and Winston Scholarships have
been available since September 2004 to choristers in financial need.
These range from partial- to full-tuition scholarships, and may also
include funding of performance-specific needs. We are pleased to
announce the recent award of another $2,500 from Holt, Rinehart and
Winston, which will help support Austin Girls' Choir choristers through
August 2009.
