Volunteer Gathering

Wine, Friends, Prize Give-Aways and New Opportunities

The 2010 Volunteer Gathering was held on June 1, 2010 at the United Way. Participants enjoyed complimentary wine and refreshments as they met committee chairs and heard how their special skills and talents could make the Guild more successful in helping Houston Grand Opera.

Our speaker was HGO General Director and C.E.O. Anthony Freud. The event is designed to inform members and prospective members about the options for contributing to HGO as a volunteer: hospitality, special events, boutique, membership, docents, marketing, development, and others. As a member of the Guild, you can enjoy learning more about opera, meet many of the art's outstanding performers, as well as other opera lovers, have fun, and help HGO. And if you are not a member of the Guild, this is an ideal time to join!

2009-10 Guild Award honorees and 2010-11 Guild Board members were announced and the Rising Star Award was presented to outstanding volunteers completing their first year of service.
