[Choir] This week/End of year schedule...PS!

[Donia Prince]

Of course, if folks are symptom free and negative by the final service I
hope you come!   But we have to plan things with the expectation you might
not be able to.    I will also confirm our own policy about isolation after
the official period if you still have a positive test.  I know things have
changed with the guidelines, but we still do have to consider that singing
is in a unique category.  I will let you all know.
