Hi everyone,
Thank you everyone for a wonderful retreat on Saturday! These events require a lot of planning and I want to especially thank Kinley for securing the location and making sure all of our needs were met, Megan for leading the fun activity, Wendy for organizing the beautiful meal that we shared, Karla and Sarah for providing an overview of WVC finances, Deb for her partnership in music, and Laura, who arranged for us to spend the morning with Jennifer Stasack, and meticulously planned a fun and productive day! I also want to thank each and every one of you for sharing your Saturday with us and providing a bountiful meal to share together. We are making great progress with our repertoire and are sure to have a fantastic concert in January!
Alto Sectional: The Alto 1s and Alto 2s are having a combined sectional together in our regular rehearsal space tomorrow night at 6:45PM. If there is a particular section you would like to review, please come prepared with your questions.
Pecan Sales: WVC will be selling Pecans and Pecan Candies as a fundraiser! Please visit the fundraising page of our website for all of the information (you must be logged in as a Member). The process for placing orders includes collecting orders and payment from friends/family on the Friends and Family form (attached) (they pay you NOT WVC directly), deliver a completed Consolidated Order Form (attached) to Diane Wold and pay with Venmo, Square, check or cash. All orders must be submitted by November 4th for delivery on November 11th or December 2nd for delivery on December 9th. Please consider purchasing items for yourself or as gifts to support Women’s Voices Chorus. If you have any questions, please see Diane Wold. Thank you for your support. Proceeds from the Pecan Sales will replenish funds designated for future Tours.
Table Sales: The first Table Sale will be on December 2nd, themed as our Holiday Market so start taking inventory of possible items you can share. The week before the sale, the online catalogue will be shared with instructions on how to shop and how items will be retrieved. More information will be shared on this, and an example of what to expect can be found on the Fundraising page in the Members dropdown menu on the WVC website. Table Sales this year will be going directly towards new handrails for our concert risers. If you have any questions, please see Julianne Vance (S1).
Volunteers Needed: Do you like to write thank you notes? Allison Mangin (S2) is looking for one or two people to write notes to include with Comp tickets. If you are interested, please let her know.
Shout-out: This week I would like to recognize Kate DeAlmeida. In addition to singing with the S2s, Kate serves as the Music Chair on the WVC Board and additionally, prepares and sends out our annual WVC letter to our patrons from which we receive many generous donations to fund the chorus. She has recently completed our Fall mailing! Thank you, Kate for everything you do to support Women’s Voices Chorus!
Zoom: If you need to attend rehearsal via Zoom, please remember to let Laura, your section leader and membership liaison know. You can join the Zoom Rehearsals here. Meeting ID: 858 3293 4624; Password: 121074.
See you tomorrow night 😊
Janet
