Member’s Meeting
July 15, 2017 - 8:00 am - 10:30 am
Every so often, the Wagner Society offers a “Member’s Meeting”. In this meeting we turn the podium over to members who share with the group their own personal Wagner experiences.
In addition, we will be having a “Haus Wahnfried Garage Sale”. Many of us have large collections of Wagnerian items, books, memorabilia, CDs, audio DVD and video recordings. Lots of people are scaling back, downsizing and this meeting provides an opportunity to find new homes for unwanted items. We ask everyone to look around and see if they have any items they would like to donate to the Society and in turn the Society will offer them for sale to the membership. Presently the Society also has a collection of items from the estates of members who are no longer with us. Whether you are downsizing or looking for additional items, it is always a lot of fun to see what turns up on the tables. All donations will be acknowledged.
Should you wish to take the podium and share with the members, please contact the Society and we will add your name to the list of members who wish to share. To sign up to share send an e-mail to WagnerSocNC@gmail.com or phone (415)421-4412 and leave a message. Podium time is limited to 10 minutes.
Proceeds from the sale of items will benefit the Program Fund and the William O. Cord Memorial Grant Fund.
