Coprogramming with the Committee on Women and Art— Are We Interested?

Received this from CWA. Will bring it up at a meeting.

Dear Connect 4,

 

I am writing on behalf of The Committe on Women and Art, a student group on campus.  We are hosting our annual symposium next month (February) in which we bring female artists and performers to campus to celebrate their accomplishments.  I just got off the phone with local blues singer Kim Massie (http://www.myspace.com/kimmassie1), who has agreed to perform in Umrath Lounge on Wednesday, February 17th. (date may change depending on space availability).  Here is the issue:  she is asking for $600 to perform, but we only have $100 in our account to offer.  We wonder if Connect 4 would be interested in co-sponsoring her performance with us.  We will accept any money you'd be willing or able to contribute; we are approaching several other student groups/academic departments with this same request, in hopes of raising enough funds.  If you would like to contribute, your name will of course be attached to the event (unless you would prefer otherwise).  This is obviously a last-minute, semi-desperate request, and we would hope to get the ball rolling as soon as possible, if possible.  That being said, feel free to contact me by email or phone (260-316-6833) and let me know if you are interested, then we can meet to discuss details.

Thanks for your time!
