What a year we’ve had! COVID continues to influence every aspect of our lives but we’ve been fortunate to meet without incident for most of 2021. The Christmas performances were uplifting to us all and have provided momentum heading into 2022. See everyone on the first Thursday in January! Plan now to attend our belated Holiday gathering Bill is planning for the 25th. Officers will be installed and awards presented to those deserving. Until next year, KTTWS! SteveG

Gentlemen! What a great way to end 2021! I am really looking forward to our time ahead in 2022. One more week and we get back to weekly gatherings! I am hoping we even have some new guys to join us!

Two requests…as you know we will begin working immediately on our contest prep for March. I am trying to finalize what those two songs will be ASAP. 1)Do YOU plan to sing with us in March? (This will help my planning)  2)Do you have any song suggestions that you would like for me to consider? (I am open to your suggestions, any song will be considered)

 Let me know the answer to both questions ASAP. Thank you and I’ll see YOU on Thursday, Jan. 6. Jimmy
