G r e e t i n g s !

What a great season we have concluded, with many innovations thanks to our Artistic Director, Executive Director, hardworking Board and volunteers. This is to thank you, especially, for your ongoing support, making the 2011 MVCMS Summer Concert Festival one of the best ever both artistically and commercially.

I am delighted to report that an overwhelming majority of you who completed our questionnaire (distributed at the two final concerts) said that our program of music for the 2011 season met your expectations. Here is what some of you said about what we are doing:

• "The concerts are fabulous. I have enjoyed learning about new composers and performers over the years."
• "The music is always extraordinary.....MVCMS is the best."
• "MVCMS is the single most important cultural institution on Martha's Vineyard."
• "...a real gift to the Vineyard."

Your feedback is important to us so please continue to let us know what you are thinking.

I am also pleased to report that we have collected an additional 184 e-mail addresses, helping us to build our growing e-mail data base so that we can save paper and postage when communicating with you. Thank you for sharing your electronic address.

If you would like to help us build upon the success of our exciting 41st season, by getting more involved financially and/or as a volunteer, please contact me or Jane Coakley, Executive Director. We would love to hear from you.

Finally, we will be in touch, as usual, for our Fall Appeal. It is your incredible generosity which enables us to continue to bring world-class music to Island audiences.

With thanks for your continuing support and have a great Autumn!

David Rhoderick
President
