MESSAGE FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT

Hello Everyone!

Nominations for members of the Board are being sought, and elections will be held at our rehearsal on April 9! Please consider joining the Board, which meets one evening per month. It is a fun group and essential to keeping the Chorus singing. Contact your section leader to offer to serve or make suggestions of candidates.

Also, don't forget about our workshop with Scott Tucker coming up on April 5th! The workshop is open to the public, so bring your friends. This is a great opportunity to also get to know VOICES members and to try a taste of their repertoire. Registration forms are attached and also available on the Web site or from Diana Nathanielz at rehearsal.

Tickets for our spring concert are ready for distribution. Please pick yours up at the next rehearsal and sell, sell, sell!

Be Well,
Stephanie Meyer
ICC VP, Chorus
