Other Projects!

Being a non-profit administrator by day and freelance musician by night, the ol' budget can get a little tight.  (That rhymed, but was completely unintentional.)  Below are two projects which I am working on to aid in lessening my financial burden for a business-building trip to Italy as well as life, in general.  Not to mention, I need to raise funds for a new bike since mine was stolen in October:

• IndieGoGo campaign
• Etsy

If you feel so inclined, I would highly recommend visiting my other sites!  If you cannot donate or purchase anything, please share my links with friends and family.

2015 or BUST!

--BIKE STOLEN--

For those of you who know how much I loved my bike, and how many thousands of miles I trekked on that thing, this is was devastating.  Any help you can give by donating toward my New Bike Fund (via the PayPal button to the right!) would be greatly appreciated!!! 

The more you help me, the more I can help Montello!

 

--Back to Your Regular Programming--

I have been quite the negligent blog owner for the last year.  I currently have 3 blogs, all of which have been left for the buzzards in the last year.  Not to mention, this fall/winter my bicycle was stolen...  Life, a new job, singing for 2 professional choral groups, creating items for my soon-to-launch Etsy account, raising funds for a phenomenal opportunity to sing & network in Italy, graduate school applications and auditions, family matters, health issues (of which the Drs. have no idea what it was) and all that comes with being an adult had put a temporary halt to my RFAR campaign as well as blog authoring.

Well, I'm back on my horse.  With my current job as an administrator for a not-for-profit, I have a bit more free time and am able to have, no matter how miniscule, a life.  So, I shall try my darnedest to get you all caught up on the plans for 2015:

This summer is still up in the air given that I have auditioned and applied for graduate school, and will potentially be auditioning for admission in Italian conservatories and for summer singing programs abroad.  However, due to my inability to host the RFAR 2014 last summer (for many reasons), I truly hope to that we can pick up where we left off and reinvigorate this project.  But, as always, it depends upon many factors such as venue (which my HS may or may not be closing--pending a referendum), guest artists, my improving health, getting a new bike and all of the scheduling with other events on everyone's calendars that is involved.

 

This is the first of many updates to come, so stay tuned!
