Iny yesterday's City Commission Meeting, the application for the BACS to use the Centennial Building was addressed with regard to waiving thet fee requirement for use of the building. The BACS is a 501(c)3 organization andi lam a BACS Board Member. Inoticed, when watching the meeting via YouTube, that there was a miscommunication that may have caused at fee waiveri to be voted on, in our favor. Wec do sell tickets and it was advised tot the Commission that we do not and only take donation. While we do take donation, thati is extra tot the $20.00 per person ticket sales. We hope to have 300 people in attemdance. Iti is always helpful to save costs of our events, but we did not want to do SO without clarifying ourtickets/donation. Ifwe need to pay the $100.001 fee, plus $200.00 refundable deposit, please let me know. Thank you! Melissa Watson BACS Board Member 95 Since 1989 Bay Area choral society (BACS) has been committed to providing choral musical excellence in Franklin and Gulf counties.

Beginning 2024 we introduced a Children's Concert for 300 students from Franklin and Gulf County schools performed at the United Methodist Church during the school day. This concert was well received by the students and teachers attending. BACS members enthusiastically look to more of these concerts to help expose Franklin and Guly county students to the benefits and Importance of music in our lives. Our Director, Dana Langford, always gives a special learning presentation to the students with their involvement. BACS is a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization. We do ask for a donation of $20 for adults and $5 for Children. Our Children's concert are free. Monies from the concerts go towards the cost of the concerts. While our choral singers are volunteers the musicians used to enhance our concert quality are paid performers. Below is an example of our concert costs. performances and educational experiences.
