Recession Fees 2014-2015

Due to the economic crunch we are all experiencing these days, VOA is willing to offer discounted fees for our programming. We only ask that careful consideration by you be made so that we can accommodate you without undo financial stress on our part.  Also, remember these fees are negotiable and subject to change based on what programming you wish us to bring, i.e., some events may require an additional fee for supplies. We need to get as many venues this year as possible to make this tour a productive and successful one for you, your students, your staff and your families.

We are excited about the prospect of coming back to Wisconsin and visiting the many cities we have visited in the past.
