[Choir] correction on concert info

[Donia Prince]

Hello everyone!

A few people mentioned that Amy's announcement below was confusing, because
it left out the word "Gospel".  This is about a concert of the small choir
of the Montpelier Community *Gospel* Choir.  Here's how the sentence should
have read:  the Acapella choir of the Montpelier Community Gospel Choir is
performing this Saturday evening, 7 PM at the Old Meeting House, 1620
Center Road, East Montpelier.
Hope to see some of you there!

>>>>> Beth, thank you for the flowers and designing that beautiful poster!

>>>>> these are available after a little editing I will be sure to pass them on.

>>>>> many people commented not only on the performances but on the cohesion and
>>>>> flow, and Nan's suggestions were integral to that success.
>>>>> Ginny was the perfect worship associate and partner in actually

>>>>> Did anyone actually count, from your vantage point, how many were
>>>>> there in the evening?

>>>>> We're back at it on Thursday with a new slate of music!  Also on

>>>>> things--first to invite/encourage anyone who wishes to attend the annual UU
>>>>> musicians conference this summer.  There might be funds to help with that.
>>>>> Can talk more on Thursday.
>>>>> And, we recently had a comment from a person of color in the community
>>>>> about one of our recent musical offerings.  The Racial Justice committee is
>>>>> also interested in working with us in the fall about how we might
>>>>> incorporate the newly adopted 8th principle into our music program.  So I'd
