Calling all former Chorus and Chorale members . . .
Again this year, the Alumni Chorus will be featured at the Grand Reunion Memorial Service. Rehearsal is scheduled for 4:30 PM on Friday, July 23rd in the high school auditorium and the service will follow at 6:30 PM. That gives us about an HOUR to put together what we plan to do. So much will depend on who shows up. WE NEED YOU!!!!
If you plan to attend the rehearsal and service, please email me at ndavids@aol.com. I will then be better able to make plans.
Hope to see you on the 23rd.
