As a nation we've stepped through the looking glass.

I know I'm thrilled to be supporting their symphony.  /s

                          The following is directed to Freepers who haven't donated or signed up for monthlies yet...



16% is good.  100% is better.  You know you're going to do it.  Pull the trigger!  You don't have to pay it all now.  $5 now, $25 next week, $10 later... keep the ball rolling.

Monthly donorship is a good way for us to avoid having to do the Freepathons.  Besides, it's a great way to pony up in style.
If you're on the verge of becoming a monthly donor or you think you would like to up your monthly donation a bit, has Jim got a deal for you. 
Check this out.  There's an added incentive for a limited time only.  (Always wanted to type that...)


Thanks to Freepers who have been frequenting the Freepathon thread to ham it up with folks over there.  It helps to raise the visibility of the Freepathon.

Jump into the Monthly Donorship special thread too.

The Greensboro Symphony Orchestra will be able to keep two of its full-time staff jobs, thanks to $50,000 in federal stimulus money.

How long before the money turns into IOU's?

Only Behjing knows.

If they are not entertaining enough to receive all their support from the private sector, they probably should not exist.

Same goes for NPR, PBS and just about every charitable organization stealing/wasting our tax money. This is not the role of the Federal government.

It will enable the symphony to maintain its full-time marketing director and education manager, two of its four full-time positions.

But more challenges are ahead, Crawford said.

Ah yes, the never ending story of liberal redistribution....

What's odd with this story is that the city is robbing the property owners and annexing property without a hearing and the police department has been under investigation for years + the murder rate is soaring.The city council is a mess and they need to be investigated.The council operates many times behind closed doors.Transparency at its best in small town/city USA.

I'm sure all those unemployed bluecollar workers are glad some North Carolina symphony can pay their tax dollars to an education director.

Hope 'n' change, eh boys?

Just damn. I wonder how many similar but ridiculous stories are to be found all across NC?
