Annual Brochure

For the last several years, Raga-Mala has been producing an annual brochure every year primarily to raise funds and to provide the audience with keepsake guides to Classical Indian and World music artists presented here in Edmonton. We had great support for our 25^th Anniversary edition in 2008! We thank all our advertisers!

This year due to the change of our executive board, we have not been able to produce our usual annual brochure. Instead we will publish a Souvenir in time for our feature concert and the Fall season.

2009 Fall Souvenir – For renewing Advertisers only

This edition will showcase the feature concert and the Fall season. It will also reflect concerts that transpired earlier during 2009 and still remain a valuable keepsake for our members and audiences. We will not be soliciting pledges from any new advertisers for this edition of the souvenir.

Considering that circulation will be limited only to the Fall season, renewing (2008 bochure) advertisers are given the choice of selecting between two options. In order to receive complimentary tickets to the upcoming concerts, please select one of the following renewal options and email us with your name and phone number. You may also contact our treasurer at the membership desk prior to any of the upcoming concerts in May. The options are:

Option 1: Advertise in the 2009 Souvenir at the same price as regular annual brochure advertisements and continue availing the benefit of receiving two complimentary tickets to each of our regular priced concerts for the remaining 2009 season. You will be invoiced at the 2008 ad prices and your ad will be repeated as-is from our 2008 brochure.

Option 2: Advertisers can choose forego their renewal for the 2009 souvenir and instead sign up as a Patron member for the remainder of the season at a special discounted rate. You will be asked for the dues for the selected membership category when you sign up. You are free to send in your pledge for the 2010 annual brochure.

2010 Annual Brochure

We are soliciting your support for our 2010 brochure. We will be publishing sign up sheets, artwork instructions and our 2010 pricelist by Fall 2009. If you would like to advertise, please email us with 2010 brochure as your subject header and one of us will contact you in the Fall.
