S E Region News

Dear Friends, as you know, we are part of the SE Region of the NFMC that meets every year in July at our music camp - Brevard Music Center. Beth McAuley, VP of the SC Region announced last July that we are to have a scholarship for the Music Center and that all of us can have a part in making this scholarship possible. We had to form an organization to formalize our activities to be in line with Brevard's requirements. We worked out our 501-C-3 status, elected officers and made by-laws. We must have approximately $25,000. to have enough money to give a $1,000. scholarship. Beth suggested that we have a drive over a five-year period when we will have had time to collect that amount. Our campaign will be called "Bucks for Brevard". Since we have about 6,000 members in the SE Region, in five years we will have enough money if all of us give 1 dollar per year! Some clubs have already begun to collect money for this year. We have always helped Brevard during its years in existence and can continue to do so by joining the rest of the region in collecting enough money to give a worthy student the chance to study a summer in this wonderful environment. More about this later!
