We will enjoy dinner together, listen to our spring concert, and celebrate our achievements over the past year. The meal will be partially catered by Mediterranean Deli with vegetarian and GF options. The cost of the catering is $28 per person. We are suggesting a contribution of $20 per person, but please pay what you can even if that’s $0. Membership funds will pay for the rest. 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. Please sign up and/or make your contributions by Monday, April 29.
8) Concert Volunteers still needed: We still need a couple of volunteer ushers to help with our spring concert on May 4. Ushers hand out programs, collect ticket stubs, and help attendees find seats. We can provide a free ticket for anyone who agrees to usher. Ushers can also be seated to watch the full concert–they won’t have to miss anything. We ask ushers to arrive at 2:15 so that we can review responsibilities before we start seating guests at 2:30. All of Kinley’s family members are already volunteering at the concert. Send her an email kinley.russell@gmail.com with their name and contact info if you know someone high school age or above who could help!
9) Shout-out: This week’s shout-out is to Trisha Socias who has been managing the WVC Facebook page, making sure that concert announcements and pictures of birthday celebrants and shout-out recipients are posted. In addition, Trisha has been helping to write thank you notes to our donors. Thank you, Trisha for your dedicated service to WVC! We appreciate you!
10) Zoom Link for Rehearsal: You can join the Zoom Rehearsals here. Meeting ID: 858 3293 4624; Password: 121074.
See you tomorrow night!
Janet
