T-Shirts For Convention Volunteers

I have Volunteered to make T-Shirts for those Volunteering to work our Convention. A sign up sheet was available at the last rehearsal, but some might not have been able to sign up. If you are interested, please send me your shirt size (unisexed, maybe a little oversized), and if you'd like a long sleeve, if available.

Any donations for the shirt are accepted and will go to the "Sunshine Fund" for special needs and such. Each shirt is made for each request. Let's make this one they'll remember! Ron Weaver (rweaver912@aol.com)

Directly speaking

Great work again this past Thursday! One big take away is that when we are singing, we are ALWAYS performing. Don't let a moment of your rehearsal time be wasted with "just going through the motions" of singing. Get into it, tell the story! All of that will make the music better!

Remember that NEXT week is convention week! Tell Grubb WHERE you will serve! And practice net week is on MONDAY because we will have a gathering at the convention hotel next Thursday.

Thanks for continuing to give your best each week! Jimmy Tompkins
