Golden Antiques and Treasures— Booth #11

The Guild’s Booth (#11) at Golden Antiques and Treasures is located at 4237 U.S. 220 in Summerfield.

Our Golden Antiques and Treasures booth is more than a place to find unique items—it’s a vital part of funding music education in our community. Every purchase and every donation supports young musicians, helping them grow their skills, confidence, and love for music.

We rely on the generosity of friends like you to keep our shelves full and our mission strong. Your donated treasures—antiques, collectibles or home goods —will find new homes while fueling a cause that enhances young lives.

How You Can Help:

Donate gently used or vintage items to our booth and spread the word to family and friends!

EVENT RECAPS

Fall Membership Luncheon

On September 30th, Greensboro Symphony Guild President Gigi Renaud warmly welcomed a capacity crowd for the Guild’s Fall Luncheon at the beautiful Pavilion Room of the O’Henry Hotel. In addition to a delicious meal, members and guests were treated to a dynamic guest speaker, a special recognition for an outstanding volunteer, and an exciting preview of the Guild’s signature fundraiser.

Australian conductor Christopher Dragon, the Music Director of the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra, emphasized his commitment to creating memorable symphonic experiences while engaging deeply with the Greensboro community. His energy and enthusiasm have already endeared him to music lovers of all ages.

In addition, Laura James received the organization’s Bravo Award, given to a member who has been in the Guild five years or less, and has given extensive volunteer service. Laura’s contributions to the financial operations of the Guild will impact the group’s effectiveness in supporting the music education efforts of the GSO for years to come.

Momentum also continued to build for A Notable Night in Rio, which returns to the Proximity Hotel on Saturday, November 22. A refined evening of music, gourmet cuisine, marvelous silent auction items and other magnificent prizes awaits, but tickets are going quickly. Visit http://www.gsoguild.org to purchase tickets and attend one of the Piedmont Triad’s most exciting events.
