Concert Guest special needs: A reminder: please send Kinley an email (kinley.russell@gmail.com) if you have a guest attending who needs special accommodation. We can reserve parking and/or seats for them and the rest of their party.
Community Outreach Fund: For this concert, we have selected The Learning Trail, for our Community Outreach Fund and Kidznotes for our Negro Spirituals Royalties Project. Please see the attachment for more information. If you would like to support either Kidznotes or The Learning Trail, you can place donations in the “In reach” box located on the back table, donate on our webpage, or by Venmo (@WomensVoicesChorus). Please indicate which organization you want to support, or your donation will be split evenly between the two. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
Spring Banquet: The Spring Banquet/Listening Party is always a fun event where we share great conversation, great food (catered and contributed), reflect on the year, and listen to our concert recording. I hope everyone will be able to join us. Please RSVP by Monday, April 27th, to let us know if you plan to attend so we can prepare appropriately.
Monday, May 11, 6:30-9:00 pm at the FARM Clubhouse (Building #11) located at 1 Alice Ingram Circle, Chapel Hill, NC 27517. Please consult the map in the link below if you are unfamiliar with this venue (Map-of-the-Farm). The meal will be partially catered by Mediterranean Deli with vegetarian and GF options. Please feel free to bring drinks and desserts to share (these will not be provided by the caterer). Please sign up and/or make your contributions by Monday, April 27th. The cost of the catering is $27 per person. We are suggesting a contribution of $20 per person, but please pay what you can, even if that’s $0. 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, either instead of or in addition to contributing (the caterer will not provide these), you can sign up here. Thank you!
Survey: At the end of each season, the WVC Board sends out an annual survey to the membership to get your feedback about music, rehearsals, performances, funding, resources, and social opportunities. The survey is designed to take between 3-5 minutes. The Board uses this information to make important decisions about our upcoming season, so please take the time to complete the survey BEFORE 6 pm, Tuesday, May 12. You can access the survey here: https://forms.gle/hAxxbX1E5e5hLqTq6
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.
Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow night
See you tomorrow night!
