As part of her legacy, a special fund has been established in Barbara Ragon’s name to honor her many years of loving service to the Chorus. Through a year-long fundraising campaign, including announcements at concerts and other NCMC events, we hope to celebrate Barb’s invaluable contributions to the Chorus success and ultimately provide a tangible way to continue to honor Barb into the future.
As we move forward we will certainly miss the vision, energy and dedication Barb brought to the North Coast Men’s Chorus as Executive Director, but thanks to all that she’s done for the Chorus, we are positioned for success in our future endeavors.
Please donate to the Barbara Ragon NCMC Fund!
A Note from Pat – President of the NCMC:
Dear North Coast Men’s Chorus Family,
For last 11 years, The North Coast Men’s Chorus has been blessed by the vision and leadership of Barb Ragon as our organization’s Executive Director. Through those years, our chorus has performed hundreds of events, attracted hundreds of new members, generated and engaged thousands of supporters, and shared our message of love and inclusion with countless members of our Northeast Ohio community.
On December 1, 2018, Barb will retire as Executive Director of the North Coast Men’s Chorus. Following a difficult, but ultimately positive journey over the past year, Barbara has chosen to spend her time with her family and pursue personal interests. While Barb’s formal engagement with the chorus may be coming to an end, her love and devotion for this organization remains as strong as our mutual love and devotion for her. She will always be a part of the NCMC family and will continue to support and help us in any way she can.
As we all know, Barb loves the Chorus, its mission, its members and its patrons. We appreciate the time, energy and love she’s given. Although this means a change for the Chorus, by no means do we want this to be an end to our long and loving collaboration with Barb in helping to make the Chorus a strong and vital arts organization within the Cleveland community and beyond. We look forward to many more years of her friendship, love and support.
Best Regards,
Pat Muzic
A Note from Barbara:
I have had the honor and privilege of working with the North Coast Men’s Chorus for the past 11 years. Each and every person in the Chorus and the wonderful family of Patrons have had a major impact on my life, I only hope that my time with NCMC made a difference. NCMC is a truly nurturing family, one of which I am profoundly proud and thankful to have been a part. Know that I am always here if you need me. All of you will always have a special place in my heart.
Barbara Ragon
