The most challenging issue we all face, today, is finances. Each of us is forced to be creative when it comes to how we spend our time and money. There is a rumor that money is drying up but I say it hasn't gone anywhere. It's just how we perform to get paid and what we do with the money when we get it. Now, many may think that the cause to support women musicians is whimsical. However, think about spending one day without hearing music. Now, think about a world where there is no music from women. THAT'S what we're about. Keeping the music of women in your ears. Dues are due. Thanks to those of you that paid your dues. To those who can pay, please do because without your dues, this organization cannot function. Please click here and pay your dues, today. Then, ask a friend to join us. Thanks so much.

publicity needs of corporations interested in underwriting this
venture are not known at this time. However, this should be considered
a huge opportunity for any corporation looking to get their branding
into international business circles.
EUROTOUR FOR PEACE June 23-July 23, 2011:
Our goal is to perform original music in each of these cities with
the expectation of being paid for each concert in order to build up
our touring fund for future tours.
Please let us know if there are any investors interested in supporting
women's music on this international tour. The artists slated to
travel with us are on our MISSION page.
We look forward to identifying the corporations that will take
advantage of this great opportunity to expose their products and/or
services to the international community through this sponsorship of
our EuroTour for Peace 2011.
If you or any of your colleagues need more information, don't hesitate
to contact me. Next Meeting: Friday,
Thank you,

heart!" ~
