Dear Members and Friends of Swiss Singing Society Harmonie, You are receiving this letter because you contributed to Swissfest 2020 through a donation or souvenir book ad. As I’m sure most of you know, or at least strongly suspect, the festival which was scheduled for June 25th-28th had to be canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While it was a difficult and sad decision it was necessary to protect the safety and well-being of everyone involved.
As a non-profit, Swiss Singing Society Harmonie relied heavily on donations and souvenir book ads to plan, create, and prepare to launch Swissfest 2020. Initial efforts began in earnest nearly three years ago to create an amazing four-day event. We incurred about $15,000 of costs during this time frame in preparation for Swissfest 2020, e.g. for printing, advertising, purchasing necessary materials, travel costs etc.
Our plan for the future is to host a new alternative event(s) to continue sharing the music and culture of Switzerland. Due to the instability and fluidity of the current situation, it is too soon to begin the planning process. Several of our members and friends have requested that their donations/ads stay entrusted to the Harmonie to help offset the expenses of Swissfest 2020, and to support future events. We understand during this unprecedented time this is not possible for everyone. Please contact me directly if you would like a full or partial refund of your contribution.
With Singers Greetings,
Mirjam Stadelmann

The "Harmonie" is hard at work with the planning of the festival and it promises to be a four-day celebration of Swiss Music and Culture.
The “Harmonie” is asking for your support to make it all happen!
Hosting the festival is a tremendous undertaking for our all-volunteer organization, both financially and organizationally, so we are asking for your help. Can we count on you to make a donation or to advertise in our Souvenir book? Donations (monetary or in-kind will be dedicated to the "Harmonie" SwissFest2020 account and will help us in so many ways, especially with our Grand Concert and with sponsorship of our guest performers. We would also welcome contributions to our souvenir bags each festival registrant will receive. These items or an advertisement in our 100 + page color souvenir book are great ways to promote your business!
