NCR Endowment Results - Good News
On January 14, 2008, the balance in the Endowment Fund went over our 2007 goal.   Members are encouraged to check the philanthropy tab for the most current report.  The next $1,450  raised will be used to fund a JCI instructor in 2008.  We're looking for someone or an organization or foundation to provide a match for this next fund drive; let Carolyn or Sharon know if you have a suggestion.  A small way you can help is to register at www.iGive.com/JCI  and list Junior Composers Institute as your cause.   All proceeds go to the endowment. 
Applications for JCI are posted on www.juniorcomposers.org   States are encouraged to increase the amount of their scholarships to compensate for the necessary raise in tuition and lodging.
