Dogwood Blossoms

Chorus

Sweet Adelines Int.

      Did you have a nice Valentine's Day? Our secret sisters spread a lot of Valentine cheer to each other last week - so much fun for those who participate! It's one of the "fun things" our members do.

     As we mentioned a while back, our costume committee has been busy finding some new outfits for the chorus. We sorted and numbered 2 new tops and a skirt early this month and then fitted our members. We want to look good for our performances and can't wait to show them off!

     Twelve of our members traveled to Independence OH on January 31 for a couple of days and nights; we gathered with other Sweet Adelines in our region to learn about singing techniques, showmanship, leadership, and even some social media instruction! Always a good time with lots of singing, laughter, and food - and yes, we some great fellowship after our scheduled activities too. On top of all that, several of our members were recognized for their milestones in longevity as Sweet Adelines:

• 20 years - Kathy Butcher, Becky Moore, Liz Moore, and Bonnie Rutherford
• 25 years - Sherry Patterson
• 30 years - Barb Bower and Barb Snow
• 35 years - Dixie Waite
• 40 years - Susan Baldeschwiler, Karen Burgess, and Maureen Hunter

     Each one was recognized with a pin and certificate. Many congratulations to all!!

     We are now working on several songs in anticipation of our annual show in October - it's going to be a fun event, so mark your calendars for Oct. 11, 2020! We won't give away the specifics, but we are having a great time  learning the music - these are fun songs and several are new to many of our members. AND we will have one of our favorite coaches come to work with us on March 17 - David Calland always brings some great ideas for us to put our best voices forward!

     Our members know that singing is a great way to deal with the winter months! Even though this winter hasn't been very difficult so far, the short days and colder temperatures can cause "cabin fever". Get out of the house and warm up by singing with us - the chorus welcomes women and girls who like to sing! Our chorus would love to grow in numbers - the more the merrier, right? Visit us on Tuesday evenings at 7:00 pm at Central Christian Church, 17833 Gambier Rd. (Rt. 229 East) in Mt. Vernon OH. It is not necessary to read music - we'll provide learning tracks and lots of help as needed. AND we promise that singing with our chorus is LOTS of fun! What better way to while away the winter hours than to be in the warmth of friends and music?
