[Choir] anticipating a new church year... already!

[Steve Finner]

All three dates work for me, and as I am feeling much better, hope to 
join the choir at least from time to time.

A reminder: I am "conducting" a small pick up choir every Sunday at the 
Washington UU Summer Congregation, just two responses and opening and a 
close. We meet to rehearse at 915.  All are welcome without notice.
