Announcing the 2012-13 VAnguard series!

New this year – simplified fees and new rates! No need to join Partners in order to belong to VAnguard. Participants will enjoy three to six parties held from September through May featuring world-class entertainment, good friends, and delicious hors d’oeuvres!

Fees are as follows:
    Full season $200 per individual, or $400 per couple for six fun-filled parties
    Half-season (three parties) $150 per individual or $300 per couple

New – host sponsorship! Want to contribute to VAnguard at the host level but do not want to be bothered with the food and drink choices? You can become a host sponsor at just $300 more, and you will be listed on the program and in publicity. All host fees are tax-deductible.

All parties start at 6:30 p.m. and feature locations throughout the Quad Cities selected by the hosts. Each evening features a spotlight performance by the current Visiting Artist and a chance for you to meet and mingle with them in a festive atmosphere.

Anyone can join VAnguard! Please contact: Susan Wahlmann
