Where's David Roth??

Last weekend, we were all very busy with the car raffle drawing and the Guild of Kentucky Opera held a birthday party for David.

The winner of the 2009-10 Car Raffle is (drum roll please) Ruth Ann Compton of Washington DC! Congratulations to Ruth who decided to take the $50,000 in lieu of the Porsche. All in all, the Opera exceeded their goal for the car raffle netting about $80,000.
The Guild's birthday party also raised a little coin for KYO. Donations in David's name are still rolling in but we are over $1000 at this point which isn't bad for a little birthday gathering. The invitation only event was held at the studio of Bryce Hudson and was well attended by Guild, Board, and friends.


Now that we are getting into summer, we see more sun and less David. Already, Kentucky Opera's General Director has gone to France to enjoy opera with friends, today he is in Toronto where he will see La Boheme and Mid Summer Nights Dream, and in a couple of weeks he will be in St. Louis. All to hear the artists that may make it to our fair city. Pick some good ones David!
