We plan five major fundraising events each year.  We also assist with the Young People’s Concerts.  We conduct three WVSL General meetings, beginning with Fall General Meeting in September.

Information on planned events is presented in this section of the webpages  (people who are planning these events please submit information to scifinerd@suddenlink.net).  See the news link on the home page for news and other information important to the WVSL.

Let music sail you away on Symphony Sunday! What an exciting thought! Let each of us contemplate how music has moved all of us with its capricious beats swirling around us while its building crescendos soar us to never before experienced horizons... or maybe its the comforting stanzas that sway us gently home by their oft heard restraints that leave us with feelings of warmth and contentment that mean the most to us. We as a league need to reflect on what thrilling power music plays in all its aspects of our lives and try to pass the wonder and love we feel for our symphony orchestra on to those attending the 26th annual Symphony Sunday. The first Sunday in June begins this year with a balloon extravaganza. The release of 30 specially chosen messages from area grade schools with return school addresses under the direction of Paul Helfrich is a novel start to this years theme. We sail on next to new vistas where adults and children can experience free events and listen to the days wonderful music while eating the superb food provided by Helen Lodge's concessions. There will be a "Hats off to the Symphony" exhibit of many unusual or beautiful hats worn over the years by special members of our community and our league. This event will be chaired by Penny Fioravante and Diane Luensmann.   There will be a wine tasting at 2-4 PM on the main patio this year.  We want every league member to help and participate with Sheila Neil and Teresa Figueroa (our 2008 Symphony Sunday Chairs) as they come up with many more grand ideas for this year's Symphony Sunday. It belongs to all of us.
