RFT’s 3 Best Things To Do on Saturday? Gender Polka everyone!

Allison Benoit — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 20:19:11 +0000

CHARIS’s concert, Gender Polka, has made the RiverFront Times’ list of 3 Best Things To Do this Saturday, and we couldn’t agree more! Tickets are still available online. Join us for an illuminating experience.

Discussion: Gender Free?

Allison Benoit — Fri, 27 May 2011 01:46:15 +0000

As CHARIS prepares to explore gender roles in our upcoming concert, Gender Polka, this article about parents who are keeping the biological sex of their baby a secret has us wondering. What are your thoughts on a “gender free” existence? Feel free to discuss in the comments.

Premium 50/50 Raffle

Allison Benoit — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 04:07:54 +0000

You could have a 1 in 100 chance at winning $1,250. How? By participating in the CHARIS premium 50/50 raffle. Tickets are $25 and our goal is to sell at least 100 tickets. Math isn’t my favorite subject, but…

100 x $25 = $2,500 / 2 = $1,250 for CHARIS & $1,250 for the winner!

Even if putting down $25 on one ticket doesn’t fit in your budget, find some friends and go together. $5 together with 4 other friends could get you $250. The winner will be announced at our upcoming concert, Gender Polka, on June 11, 2011.

To purchase 50/50 tickets, ask your favorite CHARIS member or contact Allison Benoit at secretary@charischorus.org.
