[Choir] News!

[Beth Damon]

Hello :)
I'm home after my two back-back trips and have missed you all.
I'm so excited about Music Sunday and the idea of a second concert and hope
we can make an event of the day together - maybe a potluck eating outdoors
between concerts. How do we get the word out? Do we want to create a sub
group to work on the event planning part?
With gratitude,
*Beth*
