March 6, 2026, Music Fundraiser

Our club will be hosting a major fundraiser in the spring and we will be needing club member participation moving forward.  The Inaugural Country Music Songwriters in the Round will be on Friday, March 6 at 6 pm on Walker Hall. Country music star Darryl Worley will be joined by his friends Brice Long and Wynn Varble for an intimate evening of dinner, music by the writers and the stories behind the songs and the all-star roster of performers they collaborate with. Tables of eight will be sold for $1,500 and four event sponsorships are available.

We need short term committee volunteers in advance and folks to help on the event night. We also need items for an auction that will take place online and wrap up at the event. The songwriters are also providing a number of auction items to make it special. Get in touch with Tab Brockman or Michael Cochran with questions, to reserve a table, with a sponsorship connection, to volunteer, or with auction items. Proceeds will go to the club's Community Scholars program.
