Warm thanks to the most recent donors to the Villanova Singers Endowment Fund: John Aiello (1974), Joe Beebe (1981), Tom Bucaria (1980), Joe Carmichael (1979), Bill Cavanagh (1968), Jim Debesis (1966), James (1983)and Marybeth Hannan, Don Hoyt (1970), Bill Ippolito (1972), Tom Kane (1971), Sir Robert Lima (1957), Aurelio Pontarelli (1969), and Ron Turiello (1966).

To see an updated complete list of donors (as of 24 February 2013), and instructions on how you can contribute, click on the Endowment tab, or on the "donate now" button below.
As a result of your contributions, the Villanova Singers Endowment Fund reached its first goal: $200,000. Now that we have reached this milestone, each year, every year, one tour will be funded with the managed returns earned by the endowment; the principal will remain in place permanently to fund future tours. Now we set our sights on the next goal: an additional $200,000 which will fund a second annual tour for every year to come once that goal is achieved. The current total: $236,466.20
We ask all who have not yet donated to consider a gift, and previous donors who are able, to contribute again.
Remember that all or part of any donation to Villanova can be directed to the Villanova Singers Endowment Fund.
Singers tours span seven decades: that adds up to a lot of fine memories!

"FOR EVERS, AND EVERS..."
We are very fortunate to have Tim Evers as the new Director of the Villanova Singers. Tim has been the Singers' accompanist for several years, and he directed the Singers in a number of concerts when previous Director Brian Meneely was ill, so the current Singers know Tim well. Tim holds a Bachelor of Music in Church Music from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, and a Master of Music in Organ Performance from Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey.
The 2012-13 group is the largest in many decades; it warms the hearts of the alumni to see the group growing stronger and larger!
Tim spent four years as Director of Music at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Doylestown, and since 2007 has worked at Wayne Presbyterian Church where he directs the Westminster Choir and Selah Bell Choir, the Wayne Presbyterian Church Chamber Orchestra, accompanies the Chancel Choir and the Wayne Oratorio Society rehearsals, and plays the organ.
As Tim takes over as the seventh Director of The Villanova Singers, we wish him outstanding success.

WHAT IS THE VILLANOVA SINGERS LEGACY SOCIETY?
The Villanova Singers Legacy Society is an exciting initiative for all Villanova Singers, current and past. The goal of the "VSLS" is to connect "Brothers in Song" of all ages and assure that the traditions of the Singers are enjoyed and passed on, up and down, from generation to generation. Over seven decades, the music, brotherhood, and touring have provided memories that last a lifetime.
One activity of the VSLS is a weekend of song and celebration for current and past Singers.
The most recent Legacy Weekend took place at Villanova March 23-25, 2012. Singers from seven decades, from the founding Class of 1956 through the class of 2015, found the event to be an enjoyable, memorable, and moving experience.
