[Choir] Fwd: Sing with Dr. Ysaÿe Barnwell at Regional Assembly

Wed Mar 15 14:38:46 CDT 2017

Unfortunately, this is the second time when I have had a chance to hear
Ysaye Barnwell speak and to sing with her, and the second time I can't have
this amazing experience.  The first time was at a General Assembly, when
she did not arrive in time to do her presentation because of fog in some
distant city.   And now this time, because there is an important
anniversary service at the Ottawa church to which I have been invited on
the same weekend.  I strongly encourage everyone in the choir who possibly
can to go to this event, and to stay for the whole Regional Assembly.  It
is always terrific to connect with UUs from other congregations. sincerely,
Liz
