10/19/2021 – 5:45pm THIS Thursday – DCYC Fall Fun Night!

It finally feels like fall and we are so excited to celebrate the cooler nights with a Fall Fun night and our combined rehearsal on Thursday!  This event has been on our DCYC 2021 Calendar but has snuck up on us!  The weather is perfect this week so we are moving forward as planned!

Here’s the schedule for this Thursday, 10/21:

5:45pm – ALL singers – Combined rehearsal

5:45pm – Norwex fundraiser demo from Tracey Grumbach will be set-up in the lobby for Parents to learn more!  See attached.

6:45pm – Dinner served to all singers (walking tacos)

7:00pm – Walk to the Bethel Fire Circle (behind the church office) for S’mores & Fellowship.  Families are invited to join us at the Fire Circle.

An important note: FUN events like this one are so important for your singer’s success and satisfaction in choir.  We work HARD in rehearsals.  There is very little time for them to chat and socialize week-to-week, so nights like this are so important for them to build relationships with each other and make friends.  If your child is struggling to feel connected at choir – please let me know so I can help connect them to some great friends their age this Thursday.

**Parents are asked to park in the regular parking lot – closest to the church entrance.  The Bethel Church Session has a meeting in the office building that night and they will need the spots in the office parking lot.

Thursday 10/28 | 5-9pm |  Jarrettsville Creamery Fundraising Night!

A flyer for the Creamery fundraiser is attached.  This fundraiser will directly support our DCYC 2022 Tour. We hope you can join us before or after your child’s DCYC rehearsal for dinner, or ice cream or BOTH!  Please share on Social Media as well and feel free to invite family & friends.

We are looking forward to two weeks of fun!

There are so many ways to raise $$ for your child’s DCYC Trip account right now!  If your child did not bring home a Log Cabin/Popsations fundraising form home, more will be available at rehearsal on Thursday!

• DCYC is tax-exempt so you DO NOT need to add tax to your orders.
• The form states 25% profit but they are giving us 35%
• Fudge & Popcorn will be distributed at rehearsal on Thursday, November 21st – Just in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas gifts.  A perfect small and yummy gift for teachers!

Formal Concert Attire has Arrived!

Singers will receive their formal concert attire this Thursday if they were not at rehearsal last week.  Please keep in mind – Dresses and Tuxedo Pants come in ONE LENGTH and must be hemmed to your child’s height.   Having the black dress shoes your child will wear in the November concert is an important step in hemming the dress/pants to the correct length!

Dresses: should be floor-length – when wearing black flat dress shoes, the dress should touch the top of the shoe.  We should not be able to see their ankles.  Always a good idea to hem a few extra inches to allow for growth!

Pants: Should be hemmed to the middle of the back of the sole of the dress shoes.  Always a good idea to hem a few extra inches to allow for growth!

Dry Cleaners can usually hem these items if you don’t have a family, friend, neighbor or church lady to help 🙂

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
