From The Membership VP

I’ve noticed that we’re still a little slack in our recognition of visitors to our practices. We need to step it up and make sure that everyone greets them to let know that we’re glad they’re here. I recognize the fact that it’s not everyone’s personality to do that, but please make an effort just to shake their hand and say hi. Please don’t wait for BillS or me to do it alone. Thanks and keep on singing! Ron

From The Editor

As best as I can determine, this newsletter is my one thousandth issue as Editor since joining the Choo Choo Chorus 20 years ago. It has been an honor to chronicle the activities of our rather outstanding chapter, and several of the photographs published here have been republished in the BHS Harmony magazine. My sincere thanks to all the contributors who helped me fill the white space. The newsletters and more are stored in the Online Archive. SteveW

From The Prez

What an enjoyable night of practice. Hope everyone had as much fun as I did singing in the new formation. The songs are coming together and hopefully we’ll have 30 guys on stage in Gadsden!

BillS is putting together an Awards Banquet that I trust all will support as we honor a couple of worthy members and celebrate our Valentine’s success. Finally, plans are also under way to put on an annual show this year! More info to follow. The Board will meet on Monday, March 13, 6 PM, at Ponders. How about a giant hand to Mr. Wixson for publishing his 1,000th Newsletter for this Chorus? He keeps us all informed, among the myriad other duties he performs. Bravo, Steve! Until next time, KTTWS.

Directly Speaking

We had another great rehearsal last week. You guys are continuing to amaze me with how you are growing and making adjustments each week! Keep up the good work.

One thing that will help is for each one of us to work through the songs each week BEFORE our meetings on Thursday. That way you will be prepared to add artistry to our performance.

I have updated the songs for this week. Please review.

AND thank you for welcoming our guests! Jimmy
