Membership Outreach
On Friday, 25 vocal music teachers in the area received a mailing from The Harmony Hawks. We thanked them for offering quality music education and made them aware that our chorus is a good place for their students to extend their learning both while they are in school and beyond. This project was initiated by the board and completed with excellent work from Jack Ray and Mary Huneke. Gary Lindsay designed a poster to accompany the letter. The board hopes that this project will eventually lead to more awareness of the Harmony Hawks and new memberships.
Golf Outing
Thank you to Bob Kerdus and Larry Aspleaf for organizing and conducting the Annual Golf Outing Friday at Ellis Park. It was pretty obvious that all who participated had a good time. Thanks also to Larry Hlavacek who (sacrificially?) gave up golfing to take photos of all the groups.
