1. Happy New Year! from your incoming Business Manager. Hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday break and you are ready to get back to singing.

I look forward to working on and taking requests for performances by the chorus and quartets for this year. Hopefully we will lock in ample opportunities to keep us busy and increase our bank account to the plus side. Please let me know of any possibilities that you may hear of and we will follow up accordingly.

2. Putting on a slightly different hat now, it's time to start thinking about Singing Valentines. Yes, it won't be long now. I will be chairing the project this year and will be starting a list of available quartets and individuals that can sing for the event. It falls on Monday this year, which is a good thing for a lot of the work time deliveries. Also, (barring a big spike in virus cases) we hopefully won't have too many issues with mask requirements. Stay tuned for more info on the project. Pete
