Please consider making a donation to the choir. Our outreach concerts bring live music to nursing and retirement homes, and we have a strong commitment to never turn a singer away for financial reasons. A donation of $85 would provide the funds for a partial subsidy for a singer who cannot afford a full term of choir dues. Also, we wish to pay our director and accompanist fairly for their work.
Other choir expenses your donation could support include the following:
High Spirits is a registered charity (The Vancouver High Spirits Choral Society) and you will receive a tax receipt for your donation. Donations received before the end of December will receive a tax receipt for this calendar year.
Donations can be made in three ways:
1. Make a direct donation through Canada Helps
2. Make a direct donation by e-transfer to our treasurer Shelley Waldie, at highspiritstreasurer@gmail.com.
3. Mail a cheque to High Spirits Choir
c/o 323 - 333 Wethersfield Drive, Vancouver BC V5X 4M9.
High Spirits now has a fundraising account with Return-It recycling depots, so next time you have a pile of empties, remember us!
Return-It Express is easy to use:
The full bottle refund will be credited to our account after counting. You don't have to count bottles yourself, or wait in line! Just remember to put the phone number in your Contacts so you don't forget it. If you do forget, it comes up on Google maps when you search High Spirits. There are several depots in town. For locations and other info, go to: www.return-it.ca
