Hello everyone,
I hope you all enjoyed a relaxing Labor Day Weekend and that I see you all at our Welcome Back Picnic Social on Saturday, September 7th (see details below). Next Monday, I look forward to introducing our newest members of WVC. We have invited five talented women to join our ranks:
Elizabeth Shaver – S1
Beverly Du – S2
Allison Blaylock – A1
Shira Greer – A1
Ann Sundberg – A2
Welcome to you all – we look forward to getting to know you and making music together.
Welcome Back Social: Please plan to join us for a Welcome Back Picnic Social on Saturday 9/7/24, starting at 11am, at Solite Park in Durham (4704 Fayetteville Rd, Durham, NC 27713). Family is invited to join us during this event! Please RSVP using the following link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4EAFAB2EA2F9C07-50674949-welcome
When you RSVP, please indicate in the comments if you will be having a Beef burger or a Veggie burger. If RSVP’ing for multiple people, please indicate for your whole group. There is a suggested donation of $5 per attendee. You can use Square (https://womens-voices-chorus.square.site/) or Venmo (@WomensVoicesChorus) to donate, with the memo “Picnic”
Ireland Survey: If you have not done so, please take a moment to complete the concert tour survey. It’s really important to hear from everyone, even if you weren’t able to go on tour this time. Your honest feedback helps us plan for the next tour and helps us convey to Music Contact International what worked well and where they can improve. Please complete your survey by September 15. Your tour committee thanks you!
Fund Development: The Fund Development Committee, led by Sarah Town, is looking for volunteers! Even if you have checked off boxes on past member surveys, please email now if you are interested and available to help. Possible tasks include: table/ nuts/ candy sales; ad sales for concert programs; special event planning and execution; grant research and writing… anything that helps us raise funds to keep making beautiful music! We aim to have a call this month to kick things off for 2024-25. Please write or call Sarah Town, S2 (on leave this semester): pedritasf@yahoo.com, 347-334-2842 by Tuesday, September 10.
Attendance: This season, attendance via Zoom will be allowed for extenuating circumstances such as illness or travel, but will count as ½ an absence. You can join the Zoom Rehearsals here. Meeting ID: 858 3293 4624; Password: 121074.
Hope to see you all on Saturday at the picnic 😊
Janet
