FAQs(revised 5/27/9)

If you have other questions, please email me: cecil@cecilfest.com

Why Do You Do It?
It’s no secret that Cecilfest is a non-profiting adventure for myself. The question that I get asked the most is, “Why do you do it?”. To make a long story short, a professor of mine in college, Robert W. Smith, created a scenario in class with an ending that scared me. ‘…As we get older our circle of friends gets smaller and smaller.’ Friends are the most important part of my life and I want to make that circle grow as large as possible.

Is there a Membership this year?
