We will be offering 20-30 minute tours of the building at 11:15 and 1:00. If you come for the 11:15 tours, please park at the back of the school and meet at the back door. The 1:00 tours will begin in the cafeteria. Our Rotary meeting will take place in the school cafeteria (the rotunda-shaped area) at the front of theschool.

New Sponsorship....Conductor Wannabe.....Rotary Connection...The La Crosse Symphony Orchestra introduced seven community volunteers competing for the opportunity to conduct the orchestra this spring. Conductor Wannabe format has changed this year! In the spirit of collaboration, they have asked each of the seven candidates to choose a non-profit organization that will receive ½ of the money they each raise during the campaign. This year, each “vote” is $2.00 – one dollar going to the LSO and the other dollar going to the candidates chosen charity. The winner and runner-up with the most votes received by April 28, 2015 will make their conducting debuts with the LSO on May 2, 2015. “The Conductor Wannabe competition is one of the symphony’s most anticipated annual fundraisers,” says Alexander Platt, Music Director. “The candidates spend a generous amount of time and effort into garnering community support and raising awareness of the great things we are doing at the LSO.” Click here to see the 2015 Conductor Wannabes or click on Josh Gates, Mike Desmond or Joe Kruse to donate.
