These days, where can you go to double your money? Certainly not the stock market! But you can double your money - and get a tax deduction to boot - from now till December 31, by contributing to the Ambassadors of Song program during The Capenos Matching Campaign - The Power of Everyone. This campaign was created through the vision and passion of one man - Warren Capenos - who challenged Harmony Foundation with $100,000 to raise $100,000 more by year-end. So far we have raised more than $70,000 toward that challenge - so please help speed us toward the finish line!

Here's how your support can make a difference:

1. If you're already a member of Ambassadors of Song, please consider increasing your current gift to count toward the Capenos Matching Campaign. An extra $10 a month will actually count as $20!

2. If you're not currently a member of Ambassadors of Song, please consider joining this celebrated group of individuals now for $10 per month, and automatically double your support!

We sincerely thank Warren for his outstanding generosity and leadership, and invite you to take part in the Capenos Matching Campaign - The Power of Everyone. You can donate online at Harmony Foundation, or call me at 866-706-8021. Thanks for your consideration!

In Harmony,

Make plans now to attend the exciting 2012 International Convention in beautiful Portland, Oregon.  There'll be plenty of drama in the Ringmasters vs. Musical Island Boys match for the top spot in the quartet competition - but, who knows what contender might challenge both of them? And after placing just a breath away from the gold last year, Great Northern Union will be a force for the Ambassadors of Harmony to reckon with in Portland. That'll sure be fun to watch!

In addition to the excitement and glamour of our competitions and the fun of singing tags, the Portland area is an incredibly gorgeous place, with so much to see you'll want to spend an extra few days to take it all in! To see what we're talking about, click HERE. Take in the Rose Garden, Columbia River Gorge, Multnomah Falls, Mt. St. Helen's & Mt. Hood - plus, it's only about 100 miles from breathtaking coastal views of the Pacific!

Early bird housing opens December 15 & general housing opens January 15. Register at  PORTLAND INTERNATIONAL
