Think April, Think Bensusan

Just got word that April 14 sees the return of Pierre Bensusan, one of the world's greatest guitar players.

He's based in the Paris, France, area but is well known to the Narrows due to at least two previous appearances.

And--he's not only a performer, but he's a donor to the Narrows.

If you're interested in following in Pierre's footsteps, please email Deb at publicrelations@ncfta.org.

As you may know, the Narrows is facing a $5,000 plus deficit this year and is barely hanging on. While we don't pay staff, we do pay rent, maintenance etc.

Turnout for several shows was not as high as expected, which contributed to the fiscal problems. A lot of venues, both non-profit and for-profit, face similar issues. But--the Narrows does NOT have a liquor license. So we can't make it up "at the bar."

Thanks for thinking Narrows when you're deciding your end-of-the-year charitable contributions!
