Great Lakes Levels of Giving
All donors will recieve an invitation to the Festival Kick-off party, and advance details about this year's festival in our email newsletter. We have discontinued other perqs (such as T shirts and pins) because we've found that most of our donors want to see the full value of their contribution credited toward production of the Festival. However, as a special service to our donors, we will make festival parking passes and some merchandise available to you at our cost. For more info about this program, please call Bill Matt at 517 432 4655.
