Giving Opportunities/Festive Feast Tickets
The Roane Choral Society appreciates your support of various fundraising programs throughout the year. Funds raised provide singing opportunities for adults as well as a children's choir.
Tennessee Arts Commission
The Tennessee Arts Commission was created in 1967 by the General Assembly to stimulate and encourage public interest in the cultural heritage of Tennessee.
Through a variety of programs, the Tennessee Arts Commission has encouraged excellence in artistic expression through the state's artists and arts organizations. That commitment has continued to expand through the years to ensure that the citizens of Tennessee have the opportunity to access and participate in the arts. These activities give Tennessee citizens a better quality of life, provide our children with a more complete education, and attract tourists to our state.
The Roane Choral Society is a proud recipient of limited funding provided by the Tennessee Arts Commission and the Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville.
In Tennessee when you purchase certain specialty license plates, a portion of the proceeds supports the arts. The Specialty License Plate Program was created in the 1980's to provide a dedicated revenue source for arts and cultural activities in the state. The Tennessee Arts Commission now has four license plates of its own with the addition of the new Arts plate, and 90% of the $35 directly funds the arts in communities across the state. Specialty License Plate funding provides local arts programming for children and communities distributed through the Tennessee Arts Commission, a state agency. In FY14, over 5.3 million dollars was invested in nonprofit organizations, K-12 public schools and artists across the state. Of that $5.3 million, $4.5 million was generated through the sale of specialty license plates. In a time when arts funding is shrinking, there has never been a better opportunity for art supporters to back the arts with a specialty license plate. It's simple to get yours today. Just visit your local county clerk's office and ask for one. You can exchange your license plate anytime, not just when your tags expire. Your fees will be prorated. You can also personalize your plate with up to 5 characters for an additional $35.

Along with being steadfast members of Roane Choral Society, Margie and Jerri were both educators and church musicians. Because of their love for children, education and music, it is fitting that we honor them by designating gifts in their names.
