Opinion: Orchestra of Northern New York appreciative of annual report assistance

Posted

On behalf of the Orchestra of Northern New York’s Board of Directors and Music Director Kenneth Andrews, I write today expressing my deep appreciation to you and your staff for producing ONNY’s 2019 Annual Report to the Community, which appeared recently in North Country This Week and on NorthCountryNow.com

John Basham, Marketing Manager, supervised the creation of our Annual Report brilliantly. As the liaison between your superb Production Associate Debbie Morgan and me, he kept us on task and on schedule throughout the design, layout and even the printing process. Of course, given required social distancing, he did all of this electronically and with great aplomb.

Debbie Morgan has a keen eye for design and was a joy to work with. When proofing resulted in many more edits than expected, she made every correction without complaint and in a timely fashion.

John and Deb are a remarkable team. They represent North Country This Week/North Country Now with a high degree of competence and professionalism. It was an absolute pleasure working with them. The project was completed much sooner than expected and was a great value, well worth the reasonable cost to reach more than 17,000 people.

I would also like to publicly acknowledge a substantial grant from Stewart’s Shops/Dake Family. When they agreed to transfer their annual support from ONNY’s cancelled summer pops concert to underwrite the Annual Report, it made the publication possible. Your decision to generously sponsor a page in the report is also much appreciated.

Other area nonprofits and small businesses are encouraged to engage NCTW/NCN’s services for similar communications to their clients or customers. These people are true gems in the North Country. We could not be happier with the results of our collaboration.

Due to this incredibly positive experience, the business of producing the Orchestra’s Annual Reports is yours for the foreseeable future. Thanks so much for everything.

Kathy Del Guidice, executive director
