10 YEARS AGO - March/April 2011
2010 was the first season of Friends of Music, the elite concert club that raises funds
for Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater. Over the years, the group has made funds available
to bring performing arts into the lives of children who otherwise would not have those
experiences. Friends of Music invitation-only pre-parties, concerts and after-parties are
known for their intimate star-studded entertainment and the camaraderie of community
leaders and supporters. Friends of Music continues to be among Ruth Eckerd Hall’s
best fundraisers. To become a member, call Suzy Delaney at (727) 712-2712.
