Message from the WVSL President

Dear Members:

It is truly an honor and pleasure for me to serve as President of the West Virginia Symphony League.   I have been involved with the league for over twenty years, beginning with my tenure as part-time bookkeeper of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra.

Since then, we have changed the name to the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra, moved the administrative offices from an old Victorian house on Virginia Street and the performances to the majestic new Clay Center for the Performing Arts; not to mention a new magnificent maestro and a great administrative staff – Paul, Kathy, Marcia, just to name a few of the eleven total, who work with us and support us in our efforts.

As the saying goes, “we’ve come a long way”…

As most of you know, we, the league, serve as a fundraising arm of the orchestra.  Our annual pledge is used to supplement operating expenses for the administration of the orchestra.  So it is only apt that we serve as ”Support for A NEW VISION FOR NEW TIMES”, the theme of the Orchestras’ Capital Campaign.  This is our opportunity to use creative ways to work diligently to hopefully raise even more funds to support the orchestra’s operations.

I want to extend a sincere thanks to those of you who have volunteered to chair various committees.  Each of the committees can always use more help.  So, please step forward.

If each of us asked one additional person to join us in our efforts, we would be able to double the size of the league.  Invite a friend to one of our general meetings or contact Janice Lessley for membership forms.

Thanks to each and every one of you for helping the league support our wonderful symphony orchestra.  How fortunate we are to have this exciting and talented organization here in our community. 

See you all at our fundraising events!

Beth Ann Surber, President
The West Virginia Symphony League
