FUNDING
Thank you to Anglicare for their support of the Cootamundra Community Choir for Term 1. With the funding we have secured from Anglicare and some careful budgeting the venue hire and wages are covered in the $100 joining fee.

Please note: Fees will be reviewed in 2024 and be assured we will make every attempt to keep costs down by encouraging our Choir to grow. We need more members so go to and recruit!! We will continue to work on getting a Junior Choir off the ground as well.
