Hi everyone,
**IMPORTANT: Tomorrow night’s rehearsal will be a “run-out concert” at the Efland Baha’i Center located at 119 Maple Street in Efland, NC. Please arrive a little early so we can begin on time. We will perform a selection of our repertoire for their community followed by our regular rehearsal. This is a great opportunity to sing through selected works and share our progress with members of the community.
Pecan Sales: All pecan orders are due tomorrow November 4th for the November 11th delivery. Please give the Consolidated Order Form to Diane Wold, and pay with Venmo, Square, check, or cash. The next chance to order is by December 2nd for delivery on December 9th. We thank you for your support. Proceeds from the Pecan Sales will replenish funds designated for future Tours.
Diversity Committee Outing: Anybody want to go to the opera? The Diversity Committee would like to sponsor an outing to see The Passion of Mary Cardwell Dawson at the North Carolina Opera in Raleigh the weekend of Dec 13-15. From the web announcement: “North Carolina-born trailblazer Mary Cardwell Dawson founded the National Negro Opera Company in the mid-20th century, creating unprecedented opportunities for Black artists and audiences across America.” Acclaimed mezzo-soprano Denyse Graves stars, along with Díana Thompson Brewer, whom some of us know from her time at UNCG. If you’re interested, contact Rachel Bowman-Abdi or another member of the Diversity Committee (Sue Gidwitz, Megan Hast, Caryl Price, and Leandra Strope) so we can pick a date and get tickets.
Shout-out: I would like to recognize Sarah Town (S2 on LoA this season) for her efforts as Fund Development Chair. We were just notified that WVC has been awarded $4000 by the Strowd Roses Foundation toward the purchase of additional risers and handrails. Thank you, Sarah for writing the grant and advocating on behalf of WVC!
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 in Efland!
