GENEROUS SUPPORTERS

TESTIMONIALS

I enjoy singing with the Silvertones and learning new songs. Our “sing outs” at retirement homes are rewarding. Taking part in other performances is fun and challenging.

I find it very rewarding. It is nice to meet new people. I love it!!

It makes me use my brain and I love the camaraderie

Because it enhances my life in so many respects

I enjoy getting to know other seniors and assisting in preparing for main events like concerts, Christmas programs, wardrobe, and for the Silvertones.

Helping people gives me great pleasure

We all have something to offer our clubs, whether it be organizational skills, knowledge, special skills, talents or just plain social skills. It is great to have that person who makes you feel welcome or call when you’re absent. We all help make it better.

I volunteer every year for Showtime. From childhood, I have been involved with all things musical. Showtime allows me to mingle with other seniors while keeping involved with theatrical pursuits.
