Please see the attachment for more information. If you would like to support either Kidznotes or The Learning Trail, you can place donations in the “In reach” box located on the back table or donate on our webpage. Please indicate which organization you want to support, or your donation will be split evenly between the two. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
Concert Tickets: All ticket money and unsold tickets are due next Monday, April 27. Please take a moment to read through the attached PDF describing our ticketing process, and if you have additional questions, please contact Allison Mangin (allisonmangin@gmail.com).
Concert Guest special needs: A reminder: please send Kinley an email (kinley.russell@gmail.com) if you have a guest attending who needs special accommodation. We can reserve parking and/or seats for them and the rest of their party.
Spring Banquet: The Spring Banquet/Listening Party is always a fun event where we share great conversation, great food (catered and contributed), reflect on the year, and listen to our concert recording. I hope everyone will be able to join us. Please RSVP by next Monday, April 27th to let us know if you are planning to attend so that we can prepare appropriately.
Monday, May 11, 6:30-9:00pm at the FARM Clubhouse, (Building #11) located at 1 Alice Ingram Circle, Chapel Hill, NC 27517. Please consult the map in the link below if you are unfamiliar with this venue (Map-of-the-Farm). The meal will be partially catered by Mediterranean Deli with vegetarian and GF options. Please feel free to bring drinks and desserts to share (these will not be provided by the caterer). Please sign up and/or make your contributions by Monday, April 27th. The cost of the catering is $27 per person. We are suggesting a contribution of $20 per person, but please pay what you can even if that’s $0. There will be a box on the back table at rehearsals for cash/check donations or you can pay via Square, or Venmo (@WomensVoicesChorus). If you would like to bring drinks or desserts instead of or in addition to contributing (these will not be provided by the caterer) you can sign up here. Thank you!
Volunteers Needed: Kinley is looking for three non-chorus volunteers to assist with the Spring Concert on Saturday, May 2nd: 1) Will Call attendant, 2) Two parking attendants to prevent patrons from parking at the adjacent shelter and another to direct patrons to the additional lot. These volunteers should be older teens or adults, and they will receive a free ticket to attend the concert. If you know someone who can help, please let Kinley know. Thank you.
Zoom: If you need to attend rehearsal via Zoom, please remember to notify Laura, your section leader and membership liaison. You can join the Zoom Rehearsals here. Meeting ID: 858 3293 4624; Password: 121074.
