League of the Glacier Symphony & Chorale
Focus: Education and Volunteerism to support the GSC
The Volunteer Auxiliary is a 100-members strong group, including members from a diverse range of expertise, ages, and geographies. Chapters exist in Kalispell, Whitefish, and Bigfork. Each chapter operates independently serving the needs of the members in their own community. Twice a year, all the chapters work together on valley-wide project (Sept. luncheon and spring geranium sale). The League works to advance the GSC’s programs and visibility through the following activities:
