The "formula" for our successful concert series consists for three things:

1) Volunteers to sustain the series,
2) Passing the hat for the musician, and
3) Fostering an attentive respectful audience in a family atmosphere
which in turn guarantees the musicians will want to return.

Friends of the Sunapee Community Coffeehouse who would like to sponsor the music are greatly appreciated.
A weekly sponsorship is $25 to cover heat and lights for the space, and an honrable mention of you or your company will be announced by the MC the night of your sponsorship, and your business logo, or personal name will be added to this schedule below. Help continue the Sunapee CoffeeHouse tradition by sending your check to:
