DUES:
The PPOL Board recently voted to increase dues to $50 for individuals and $75 for couples/families. We have not had a dues increase for 10 years, and costs have gone up 28% nationwide in that time period. Your dues help defray the cost of our administrative expenses. As a member, you receive free admission to five programs each year ($10 per program) as well as periodic newsletters with information that keeps you informed of other local opera programs and events. It really is a bargain.
When you renew your membership, you will be offered the opportunity to donate to our scholarship fund and/or sponsor a program, event, vocalist or accompanist. Facility fees and other costs have increased, and we ask your help so that we may continue to bring you the finest talent in the Rocky Mountain Region. Please be as generous as possible when considering donations and sponsorships.
When you sponsor a program or event you will receive recognition in the promotional advertising as well as at the event, and you will know that you are supporting our mission.
