One of our key goals for 2009 is to recruit more volunteer staff, board members, and volunteers. What qualities should we look for in these individuals? According to an article distributed by Alliance Fieldstone, non-profit experts, the following six traits should be present:

1. Is passionate about the mission.
2. Builds relationships.
3. Relates outcomes in the form of stories.
4. Is focused and persistent.
5. Is always "on" and always prepared.
6. Follows through and closes deals.

Each chorister is required to pay $375 dues each year. To sponsor a chorister, please contact us. Please send your tax deductible donations to the address above, donate online, or call our office to see how you can help.
