I think it would be marvelous if we had a good contingent there!. Besides it sounding like a fun day, there might well be something in the workshop that we could do this year, maybe even for the first service! I'll be signing up. If anyone would like to but feel they can't swing the fee, let me know, our budget could probably cover some registration fees.</div><div>Donia</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:arial">Harmony Singing Workshop with Ali Burns</p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:arial;min-height:12px"><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:arial">Plainfield Friends Meeting House, 203 Martin Meadow Rd., Plainfield, VT</p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:arial">Saturday, August 10, 10:00 a.m. — 4:00 p.m.</p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:arial;min-height:12px"><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:arial">Join Ali Burns for a day of songs with lush, beautiful harmonies and simple text that are easy enough to learn by ear but satisfying and fun to sing. Ali is one of the UK’s leading Natural Voice Choir Leaders and a songwriter and arranger who loves to write for community choirs. Many of her songs have found their way into the repertoire – and hearts – of singers across the UK, and increasingly the USA, New Zealand and Australia. She was a founding member of the Natural Voice Practitioners’ Network, the international network for natural voice and community choir leaders. Ali lives in Musselburgh on the outskirts of Edinburgh in Scotland, and teaches all over the UK and beyond.</p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:arial;min-height:12px"><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:arial">“All my life I’ve loved the way that singing and songs can raise you up and make you feel better about being alive; the way that the right song at the right time can make you feel human and connected to the world.” – Ali Burns</p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:arial;min-height:12px"><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:arial">The day takes place at the beautiful Friends Meeting House in Plainfield Vermont.

Lunch at noon, followed by more singing, with a tea break in the afternoon.</p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:arial;min-height:12px"><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:arial">Tickets for the event are priced at $25 per person.
