Join us for our first rehearsal of the year and our welcome social this coming Thursday, Sept 8 at 7:00 pm in the Wasilla High School choir room. All are invited so if you know someone who’s been thinking about joining, now is the time to bring them along! Please spread the word. Remember, new interested singers can attend during September to check us out and find out more about membership. Tell your friends that we are a non-audition group but some experience singing is helpful. Anna has lots of wonderful songs picked out for us for our upcoming concerts.

Greetings Singers, Musicians, and Fans–
Summer in Alaska – could life get any better? Well, yes, it could. Everything gets better when you add music! So let’s think ahead to next concert season! Our tentative start date (we have to wait until Wasilla High School is back in sessions to confirm our rehearsal space) is September 8 at 7:00 p.m. Start thinking about who you could invite to join the chorus this next year.
Board members — the annual meeting is Thursday, July 28 6 – 8 pm at Lois’s house. Call if you need directions.
Musically yours,
Sandy Gravley, MCC Board President
Have items for this weekend’s garage sale? Anna Hammon may be able to pick things up from you on Friday evening. Call her at 907-414-3471 or email at sweetdog109@gmail.com
Here are the details: Saturday, June 11th, 9a to 5p @ 523 S Alaska, Palmer AK
Set up begins at 8:00 a.m. Bring a table if you have one and price your items appropriately. This location is across the street from the Valley Hotel/Turkey Red – right on the parade route!
And, speaking of the parade. We have a spot in it and need a few more people to walk in the parade. It should be fun and is a great way to promote the chorus and let people know about us.
Our garage sale last year brought in over $600 due to your generous donations and willingness to help. Let’s top that number this year. It looks like it will be a beautiful day and lots of people will be out and about for Colony Days and the AK Native Gathering nearby so let’s support the chorus. Call Anna Hammon at the number above if you have questions or can help.
See you all there.
Sandy
