Sullivan County Council on the Arts Activities

Sullivan County Council on the Arts - Supporting the arts, culture and heritage of Sullivan County, Pennsylvania

Volunteers Needed

The SCCA is an all-volunteer outfit. This implies two important things:

1) All of our income goes back into our programs and their support. We have no salary or overhead expenses/

2) We need volunteers, which means people who will do things – oversee activities, support those who oversee activities, bring supplies or provide helping hands on short notice. If you're willing to do this or anything else, at any time, and in any way, send us a note .

Our expanded activities are putting an increasing strain on the small circle who take an active part in our labor-intensive programs.

You don't need expertise in any area, just a willingness to put in a few hours.

Music

We admit it – the one area where the Arts Council has been notably lacking in recent years is in our music program.

Well, that's going to change, drastically.

Barb Murray, former president of the Dushore Music Club, has joined the board with the special task of organizing musical events.

These will feature both local and imported artists.

Anyone you could recommend? If so, let us know by email.
