*A Message about the Blaine Chamber Choir

In a letter to Suzanne Conrad, Andy Harmening, Choral Director for Blaine High School tells about needs of the choir and a trip planned for April. The SLC board thought you would like to know about the choir and its needs. The SLC will make a donation to the choir on December 17th after their performance for us at the Holiday Tea.

Hi Suzanne,
How are you? It would, as always, be our pleasure to come perform for you. This is the group's favorite time of year to perform and they can't perform their Holiday music enough! You wonderful ladies have always been such a delightful and appreciative audience.
I also meant to ask you if there was some way it could be communicated to any individuals this year to sponsor, by donation or employment, some of the students I have who are struggling to earn the money for our planned trip to New York next April. We are doing the trip as inexpensively as possible but I have six students who are: from single parent households, one who is a foster child and a brother and sister living with a single parent who are homeless, living in a Blaine hotel after their home burnt down last June losing all of their possessions.

We would be willing to do additional performances, work in the yard, whatever. It is just with the current economic times, these students, the group and I would really appreciate some additional help.

The New York trip, still to be approved by the school board, is 4 days and 3 nights with a Choral festival at Montclair St. University, a performance qt the Cathedral of St. John The Divine. We also hope to perform at some of the sight-seeing landmarks such as St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Rockefeller Center, Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, the U.N. building entrance, as well as the Memorial at Ground Zero and anywhere else we can draw an audience!
Again I thank you for the invitation and we look forward to seeing you December 17th.
Sincerely,

Andy Harmening
Choral Director

This information is from Lois Franco:

While it's officially a 'Bellingham' billed event,
most of the programs presented by the BCC are not Bellingham focused, and
are very informative. The buffet lunches are real price performers, and all
in all, it's an interesting opportunity to keep in mind.

One DOES NOT have to be a member to attend these programs.

Mother Hubbard's Cupboard (Joan Brenthall - 371-0705) has a need for single beds.  Call Joan.
