Hi everyone,
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends! Tomorrow night, there is A LOT going on, so please take a moment to read the announcements below:
What is happening on December 1st?
****Sisters’ Voices will be joining us for the first half of rehearsal so please be welcoming and flexible so we can make the most of our time together. With the extra singers, we will be at capacity. Please try to keep talking to a minimum so that everyone can hear all of Laura’s instructions. Thank you in advance.
· Pecan December Order Deadline: Turn in your Consolidated Order Form and payments to Diane. Orders will be available next week at rehearsal, December 8th. If you have any questions, please reach out to Diane Wold (S2).
· T-shirts and Swag sale Deadline: The sale closes December 1st so if you haven’t placed your order, please do. Orders can be placed here. Purchased items will be available for pick up at the WVC rehearsal on Monday, January 5.
· Table Sale – Monday, December 1st! The theme will be Holiday Market – a marketplace for all WVC members to shop and sell gifts for the holidays! Anyone bringing items to sell, please arrive early (ideally before 7 PM) so that your items have enough time to be perused/purchased! Shopping will begin at 7 PM and continue during the rehearsal break. We will also be including a final “flash sale” at the end of the full choir’s rehearsal to encourage one final round of shopping! We will have QR codes available to pay via Square and Venmo and will accept cash as well. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer to help with the sales, please reach out to Julianne at (919)943-9896 or juliannev12@gmail.com.
Concert Information:
· Concert Tickets: Tickets for our January 25 concert will be distributed by your section Membership Liaison at rehearsal tomorrow night. All ticket money and unsold tickets are due Monday, January 12. 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).
· Posters, postcards and business cards for our upcoming concert will be available at each rehearsal. Please take and share with those who might be interested.
· January 12 Concert: In case you need to purchase concert clothes … The first ‘tech’ rehearsal for our Winter Concert will be on January 12 at Carolina Meadows. This will be a full run through of the concert followed by rehearsal. We WILL be wearing our regular concert dress for this performance.
· Scarves will be available for purchase at rehearsal on December 8th and 15th. We are requesting a suggested donation of $12 per scarf. Payment can be made by cash, check, venmo (@WomensVoicesChorus), or Square.
· Program Ads: It is time again to prepare our next concert program, which means time to consider selling or buying ads or tributes for the program. Please consider approaching vendors you know well and asking them to support the arts in this way; it allows them to get their message to our loyal audience and brings our name into the community. It also helps us spread the financial support of the chorus beyond our members and families/friends, something most members say they would like us to do. Most importantly, with ads we can continue producing a hard-copy program, which is a valuable addition to our audience’s enjoyment of our concerts. This cannot happen if you do not ask. Prices have not changed from last season; please use the attached ad and tribute forms, which are also available on the Buy Ads and Tributes page of our website. If you have any questions, please reach out to Rebecca Bruening (rebecca.bruening@gmail.com).
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.
See you all tomorrow! If you are interested in shopping, come early!
Janet
