Subject: Important dates Summer/fall 2013 

Dear Choir members,

We had a wonderful celebration for Maria Logan.  22 singers were able to come and I know that the others, unable to come, were with us in spirit.  We will miss Maria!

Here are some dates to put on your calendar.  In order to get the best dates, I applied for an early date for the Christmas Market.  They were so impressed with our presence on the Swiss Nation day last year that they asked us to come again on a weekend for a Nation Day.  I let the new President and committee decide on this one.  I only took one Thursday performance to secure a good date.

Here is what we is on our calendar so far:

July 17 (wednesday) WESTERN THEMED BBQ - Noon - at the Assessment center where we rehearse.  As promised we will sing in Chotteli for the people of the Center. The following singers signed up:
