 Director’s Notes 

Hi Everyone!

This Thursday we will be tightening up our guys and girls pieces, as well as “I Love You/What A Wonderful World” and “It Takes A Village”.

Please make sure you sign up for an audition spot that is still available. If there are no more available, let me know and we will make time to audition.

Keep up the great work! We are making great progress every rehearsal and I am so excited to show everyone the work you all have been putting in!

 SPC OUTREACH:  Sycamore Presbyterian Church has a community outreach to Symmes Elementary and Loveland Elementary that prepares bags of non-perishable food for needy kids.  Pick up some items while shopping and bring them to rehearsal.  There are bins under the SERVE sign in the lobby for donations to be placed.   The attached photo lists suggested items to donate.  Questions to Don/Lorie Stuart or Jill Yust.  Julie Ferron is the school nurse at Symmes Elementary and may also lend additional information about the needs.

RSVP to our post-concert party at the Rosenbergs!  If you did not receive the Evite invitation (sent 3/6 at 6:30), email Sally Alexander.  Plus ones/spouses are welcomed and encouraged to attend the party.  Please reply as a count of “2” on the Evite invitation if you’re bringing a non-choir member guest.
