Happy 90th birthday to Bill this coming Sunday!

Tuesday we shared this cake to celebrate Bill Moss’s 90th birthday (officially Sunday). Bill continues supporting the chorus as an active singer and leading seller of ads and donations for the spring show program.

Honor Flight Orientation Sing-out

Put Sunday, April 6 on your calendar. We will sing the “Star Spangled Banner” and “Armed Forces Medley” for the Honor Flight Orientation sessions at noon and 3:00, at The Hotel at Kirkwood. More details to follow. I have received word that at least one former Harmony Hawks is among the honored vets.

Spring Show

Please work on the areas of the songs that you had difficulties with at last week’s rehearsal. We have made great progress but we still have a long way to go.

We still have tickets available for you to take with you. Each envelop will have 10 tickets. You can buy the tickets and give them away or sell the tickets. You will turn in any money collected and unsold tickets the week following the show.

It is not too late for you to reach out to all your contacts who might want to attend the show. After you have sent your email, send Mary Huneke the list of people you contacted (mary.huneke@gmail.com). We need to promote this so that we have better attendance.

People can order their tickets, and pay, on our website, by finding the link on the upcoming events page, or from the event in the calendar. Here is the link if you want to include it in your emails to potential customers. https://harmonyhawks.org/event/spring-show-2/#tribe-tickets__tickets-form
