The second part of the gathering is a more organized choir gathering, with singing, some fun activities and maybe some talking. The whole thing will very possibly not go the full four hours, might be closer to 3, but we wanted to leave wiggle room, and didn't want people to feel they had to rush out after the organized part, in case they were enjoying talking with people. So it's a loose 4 hours.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Donia<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Tue, Aug 9, 2022 at 3:02 PM Frances Krushenick via Choir <<a href="mailto:choir@unitarianchurchofmontpelier.org" target="_blank">choir@unitarianchurchofmontpelier.org</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><p class=MsoNormal>I'll need a ride.
