President’s Message – February 2025
Dear Friends and Supporters of CMK –
Welcome to our first concert of 2025 taking place this Sunday, February 9 at 7:30 pm at the RCA! Please especially note the day; we do not have events on Sundays frequently but this concert had to be scheduled into a North American tour itinerary for our exciting German visitors, the Schumann Quartett.
Details are below.
This is the time of year we receive notification of our annual operating grant from the City of Kelowna and on Monday we were informed that we have been awarded $10,000 for 2025; this is the maximum allowable under the program for which CMK is eligible. It is also the same amount we received in 2024 and, indeed, the same as our 2020 operating grant. If we may suggest, please tell a member of Kelowna City Council that we are grateful for the support and also ask them to take inflation into account during the next budget discussions!
Warmest regards from all our Directors and volunteers,
Diane
P. Diane Bond, President
