Dear Legionnaires - First Off, Happy New Year! The Commander and PEC Team wanted to pass a dedicated communication for our pending Major Fundraiser Event with Eric Genuis in February.

On 11 February 2022 your Post will host a return of internationally acclaimed music composer, pianist, and philanthropist, Eric Genuis.  His visit last June was so much enjoyed by our members that we asked him to return.  Please join us to once again welcome Eric and his concert-quality soloists (such as a violinist, celloist, vocalist).

Here is a flyer announcing our Genuis concert.  You can go to Eric’s website, EricGenuis.com, to listen to samples of his music and listen to him speak about his experiences. You can also see alot of these details and purchase tickets on our Post Events dedicated page. For your convenince, click here to buy with a credit card. 

We encourage use of our secure Post website payment system for ticket purchases.  If you wish to purchase tickets for yourself/friends without using the Post website credit card payment link, please reserve tickets with Bob Medred by email, chemguy@earthlink.net, by phone 919-883-6000 (this cell phone number is also used for his business, and you may have to leave a message if he doesn’t answer), or postal mail 1121 NC Hwy 86 N Hillsborough, NC 27278. 
 
Payment for reserved tickets must be received no later than 10 February 2022.  Once your payment is received, you may pick up your ticket(s) at a monthly meeting or at the door the day of the performance. We’ll have ticket sales for members and friends of members at the next two monthly meetings where you can purchase tickets.  We’ll hoping to fill our room occupancy, so please purchase tickets as soon as possible. 

Additional Information to consider from the Commander...

Eric dedicates a major part of his musical career to his charity called “Concerts for Hope” where he goes on tours to inspire those who have lost hope, such as in prisons, drug rehab centers, and VA centers.

Eric Genuis will perform for us at no cost.  The source of income to support Eric’s charity, “Concerts for Hope,” while he’s here will be through donations.  After hearing Eric and his ensemble’s music and Eric’s speaking about his travels and the impact he’s had on those who need encouragement, you may feel inspired to help with Eric’s musical mission. 

Helping Eric’s charity will be helping the Post in two ways:  We’ll profit by selling tickets at a very low cost of $15 each to both members and the local community.  Eric made us a generous offer to donate to the Post a large portion of his donations received from our concert.  His donation offer applies to all donations he receives in excess $5,000.  With your help and with the help of your non-Post member friends we could achieve a large income with little manhours invested and thus provide us with much needed funds. 

I am sure that those who attended the last Genuis concert will concur that you will benefit emotionally and spiritually by attending this performance.  So, please spread the word so others may benefit.  At the January membership meeting we will be selling tickets at the check-in table.  I courage everyone to be an ambassador for the Post and for this cause by distributing the attached flyer and purchasing tickets for your friends, and members of other organizations to which you may belong, so we can fill the room to capacity.    

I hope to see you at what will surely be a wonderful concert on 11 February 2022.
