By the time you read this, our Installation and post-Valentine Dinner will be behind us. Thanks to all who attended and to Bob Davenport for coming down from Music City to install the Officers for 2026. Spring convention is March 20 & 21 and I hope you’re planning to attend. Also, we have 2 performances in March Please do your best to support both efforts. Until next time, KTWWS. Steve Grubb

Directly Speaking

Good work this past week, gentlemen! It seemed that a lot of us were tired, but we worked through it! The song list for this week is on the website and ready for you to come prepared this week! Be sure and review "Nearer My God to Thee."

You should have received an email this past weekend to update your availability for our next three performances. Please reply to those emails or go to the website and let us know your status!

Spend some time "outside of class" this week. As you go through the songs remember to sing "smoothly", use the same "font" in all parts of your range, sing "above the table" as you paint "with a brush" as you sing.

I hope to see ALL of you this week at rehearsal, we need YOU to be there! Jimmy Tompkins

From the Membership VP

Another Valentine's Season is over and activities like these express the health of our Chapter. As a Quartet Activity, the lack of commitment is alarming. Let's all examine what we want from our Hobby, and commit to participating at the level we CAN commit to meeting. Nothing more, or less. Think of your talent life activities and family, job commitments. Keep the MAIN thing, the main THING! Ron Weaver (Note:The lady in red pants in the 3rd photograph is 103 years old.)
