OPEN CHOIR REHEARSAL

Thanks to all who attended the open Choir rehearsal. We had three visitors and two inactive members, plus several people who had been gone a while for various reasons. Out of the three visitors two will become members, and the two inactive members are going to return to active status. Please welcome our new members Kalyn Center and Bonnie Palmer, and welcome back Mike and Marcella Beers. It was also good to have Don and Angie Fink returning from maternity leave. If you wanted to attend but couldn’t make it, please feel free to attend and participate in any of our events or rehearsals.
