Our July 2020 newsletter is available

July 1, 2020 / News & developments

Dear Friend of the Downers Grove Music Club,

Our latest newsletter (July 2020) is now available. It is notable for a couple of reasons: it is the first newsletter published since the Covid-19 outbreak, and it is also our final newsletter of the 2019-2020 club year. While our 2019-2020 season ended on a silent note, our board continues to work remotely to strengthen music arts development in the community. We are very appreciative of our many members who have already renewed, as well as the generous donations we have received. Your steadfast support during these challenging times has enabled us to meet 100% of our student program support goals during the 2019-2020 club year. Read our latest newsletter for all the details about this unique club season in our 93 year history.
