MOP is teaming up with Fun Pasta Fundraising this year and we hope you will join in the fun!  

What is Fun Pasta?
Fun Pasta is pasta shaped like the holidays, sports, collegiate team logos, and more.  There is something for everyone to enjoy! 

How can you help? 
SHARE our Fun Pasta website with neighbors, friends, and co-workers AND PURCHASE pasta from one of our orchestra students. Every sale helps support our group and gets us closer to our goal.  The products are healthy, fun, and affordable – and make great gifts, too!

If you purchase pasta through the brochure (ask one of our orchestra students for a copy!) - MOP gets 50% of the profits! Out-of-town relatives and friends can also order directly from the website!  40% of these sales go directly to us! (excludes shipping cost). There is a flat rate shipping charge of $6.95, but they ship within a couple of days, and our relatives can easily support our group!

And remember: Brochure Orders and Money Collection Envelopes are due September 22nd. Online orders will be accepted through October.

MANY THANKS FOR HELPING US REACH OUR GOAL! If you have any questions, contact us!

This morning, the Music Opportunity Program (MOP) received a very kind gift from Mrs. Jane Monette Hinds to sponsor a youth orchestra rehearsal.  MOP extends the warmest thanks to Mrs. Hinds for her generosity!  We recognized Mrs. Hinds' generosity on the front page of MOP's website because it is an extraordinary gesture to support local youth musicians.

Sponsoring a youth orchestra rehearsal is a wonderful way to support MOP.  By sponsoring a rehearsal, the rehearsal is named after you, you are featured on MOP's website, Facebook, and Twitter.

Sponsorships are an effective way to support students who are eager to learn string instruments and participate in youth orchestras.  If you are interested in supporting MOP with a rehearsal sponsorship, or an individual student, please call Michele Robertson at 205-231-9509 or email: mrobertsonmusicopp@gmail.com

MOP's fundraising efforts are underway and we're excited to be selling Fun Pasta again this year! 

With your generous support in the past, we have been able to continue the success of our program! The funds raised this year will help us provide need-based scholarships to students, as well as fund MOP!

40% of your order will directly support our efforts! Order deadline is OCTOBER 1st. So have fun shopping and thank you for your support!
