10/03/2025 – What a glorious day!!!
Dear friends,
What a fabulous rehearsal we had on Tuesday! The quality of the singing just kept getting better and better. The sound coming from the Sopranos on the Ave Verum was clear, pure, in tune, just lovely. And the tenors followed suit. Freely produced tone and solid vowels. I look forward to hearing the basses and altos strut their stuff next week.
Check out the recording that Melissa posted on our Facebook and Instagram pages. We already have over 500 views. If you have not liked us on YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, please do. It is a great way to keep track of what is happening in our organization which you can then share with others. And our website rocks! There’s so much good stuff on there.
Thank you to all who have signed up for the harvest party, brought items for the online auction and donated wine for the wine pull. The online auction will be launched on October 12 through November 5. Please plan to share with your friends and family and do your holiday shopping.
Tuesday is our annual Fall Harvest Party. Please plan to stay for treats and fellowship with our new and returning members. Please wear your beautiful name tags which Melissa prepared for us.
Now the plan for October 7:
