[Choir] 2 requests

[Donia Prince]

Hello dear singers!

2 requests for some help:

*First,* I want to put something in the e-news to try to recruit some new
choir members.  I thought it might be more meaningful to have a statement
from an actual choir member that both says what you get out of
participating, and possibly, as appropriate from your personal perspective,
that addresses what people might see as obstacles to joining.  The 2 big
ones that I see are the time commitment and feeling that they aren't good
enough singers or don't read music well enough.

I'd like to put something out now, either this or next week, and then also
at the beginning of the new year, so more than one is welcome!   Let me
know if you are willing to write out a short paragraph, or just send one
along.  And say whether you are willing to have your name attached to it.

*Second,* John Poeten has requested us to "sponsor" a themed basket to
raffle off at the holiday fair.   I would imagine it might include things
like small musical instruments--percussion, whistles or flutes, etc, maybe
some music or music books, cd's (if anyone listens to those anymore), music
related art or jewelry.  *Would anyone be willing to actually
create/decorate the basket,* and do folks have things they could
contribute?

Thanks all!
Donia
