May 13 Update

Thank you ALL for a thrilling Pentecost celebration on Sunday complete with a visit from the HS (herself) as she so "stunningly" touched the Lied Organ at the first service. You inspired us all with your enthusiastic rendering of the Vaughan Williams "Antiphon" as with your beautiful gentleness in the Lee Scott anthem at during the prayers. "Veni creator spiritus" indeed!

Things to note for this week: CHOIR COUNCIL ELECTIONS
CC elections will take place NEXT Wednesday during rehearsal (at the break). The terms of office for new members will begin after the Boston trip. Please refer to your handbooks for the list of responsibilities of members. The one additional responsibility is that of the weekly maintenance of the boxes of those in your section. Because of the typical small slate of candidates, we are ENCOURAGING "WRITE-INs." Be prepared to submit those between now and the May 21 rehearsal.

Candidates:
Soprano: Sarah Gauger, Deanne Hyde (will elect 2)
Alto: Linda Zabel, Becky Shane (will elect 2)
Tenor: Stephen Talarico, John Reinert (will elect 2)
Bass: Michael Trutna (will elect 1)
Vice President: Jane Mehrens

Boston Trip update:
We need to know your preference for 2 things: Please let us know at rehearsal this week.
1. the final update meeting May 21 or May 28 at 6:30PM.
2. the final rehearsal Sun June 1 or Mon June 2 (time depends on the day)

*Please note - the dress code for the Martha's Vineyard concert is white tops, black pants and black full shoes for men and women. Short sleeves are acceptable. The black pants and black full shoes with our vestments is required for our Sunday services as well. I strongly suggest simply packing another white shirt/top for Sunday as well.
