[Choir] Fwd: UU Songleaders Convergence, July 24-28

[Richard Riley]

My hopes that you are enjoying a Marvelous Monday after a Stunning Sunday.
I can't thank you all enough for giving of yourselves and your voices at
the Community Carol Sing last night!

This morning I received the email from Joan about the UU Songleader's
convergence on July 24-28 in Denver. She invites your interest, and
possible financial support to help you attend! This is not an event that I
will be going to, so I leave it up to you to determine if this might be of
interest.

Dick

Hi Dick and Donia,

Will you please pass this announcement on to our choir/music folks at
church? I am really excited about this event and hope to go myself. I
imagine we could find some funds to help with scholarships for travel and
other expenses for people to attend who might not be able to afford all the
costs.

Best,
Joan
