WHAT a thrilling 3-day events "Dumky Holiday" series turned out to be!

Whether you were there for one or several events, it did not matter:

The musicians were emotionally and fully engaged.

We felt the intimacy of chamber music in the same manner great masters like Schubert and Liszt did in their salons.

THANK YOU Alice Dade and Scott Yoo, for generously opening your home to the Odyssey audiences and musicians, for the whole week we rehearsed and performed.

Thanks also to Bion Tsang, who flew safely, away from the tornado in Dallas earlier that week, and to Peter Miyamoto, for all their performances.

We are blessed to have so many dedicated volunteers; thank you so much!

The receptions were in part catered by Mary Manulik's SENZA Gluten Free Foods on Thursday and Jina Yoo's Asian Bistro on Friday.

As of December 1, we raised $30,291.

Currently at COMOGives.com, we have raised $3797 so far. THANK YOU!!

We are VERY close to our year-end goal of $45,000. We were short of completely selling out our 2022 tickets, but here are several ways you can still help:

1) Dr. David and Nancy G. Bedan, Dr. H. Elaine Cheong DDS, and Dr. Peter Miyamoto and Ayako Tsuruta are joining forces to create a matching challenge: Every dollar donated to COMOGives will be matched up to $5500!

2) Then, Come to our events!

3) And, Please Consider Leaving a *RAVING* Google Review, or a review on Facebook!

Thanks again for reading this far.

I am fully aware you have many asks from various organizations.

We do not want to impose, and here's our plan:

• We will e-mail no more than twice a week, to include some nostalgic audios and/or videos,
• We may post on Facebook everyday as well as other social media outlets,
• We will conclude with welcoming 2023.

Happy Holidays!
