<div dir="ltr">I am thrilled to hear that Donia will be staying on with the choir! I've sung under eleven different choral directors in my time, of large and small chorales and church choirs, and in my experience Donia is right up there with the best of them. I sincerely hope that she will be considered for a long-term position when that time arrives -- she deserves it and the church community deserves her.<div>Kathleen</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Apr 14, 2022 at 11:40 AM Rev.

I am so pleased to have Donia continuing on into the coming year. She has been such an asset to our staff with her adaptability, creativity, and capacity for learning new skills. We are in conversation now about the scope of her position for the coming year, and I will have more to share about that soon. Of course, I am also so grateful for Eliza's wonderful contributions as our Pianist/Organist and am so glad to have her as a part of our music staff.</div><div><br></div><div>Feel free to reach out with any questions or feedback you'd like to share.</div><div><br></div><div>With love and appreciation,</div><div>Joan</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><font color="#0b5394"><b>Rev.
