Huntley, IL 60142 Daytime Phone: (630) 453-8006 Subject: Please support Phase Two of
the Feasibility Study for an Arts Venue Comment: Glen Ellyn-Wheaton Chorale is a 65-voice
volunteer choir. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization that serves the musical needs of our
community by presenting two concert seasons per year. After the ticketed events, we then
share our music with local retirement communities and long-term care facilities. We also
collaborate with other local arts organizations, including Anima-Glen Ellyn Children's Chorus.
In the past several years, we have been bumped around to various locations, and I would like
to share with you our struggle to find a new home for rehearsing and performing. Two
Wheaton churches have terminated their rental agreements with us in the past two years. We
have encountered many churches who now restrict access to their buildings. We have
thoroughly investigated no fewer than 60 venues as potential locations for our weekly
rehearsals and annual concerts-churches, schools, colleges, universities, theaters, and other
venues. You can imagine the drain on our time, human resources, and finances caused by this
crisis. Non-profit arts organizations such as Glen Ellyn-Wheaton Chorale face a critical need for
rehearsal and performance venues in DuPage County. We press on, thanks to the dedication
and passion of our volunteers, but we need help to continue our mission, "bringing harmony to
the community." We would ask you to help us to keep the music flowing! Please support
Phase Two of the Feasibility Study. Thank you, Jennifer Whiting Music Director, Glen
Ellyn-Wheaton Chorale
