Hi Fernando,
The calling all singers is to be sent to our PC roster. Was that your
question?

Who is this being sent to? Sorry to be 'that guy', but an introduction
would be helpful for me.
Keeping in mind that this is the first time I am seeing this: I agree with
Linda -- though I, too, feel the urge to write a doomsday-esque letter
begging for member voice, I think that an upbeat email might be more
welcoming and therefore, perhaps, more effective. I also agree with keeping
the focus on Nov. 21, simply because it helps keep the letter short and
simple.

What I just sent is incomplete. I was typing mid-sentence when it
suddenly emailed itself!
Next sentence would be:
Knowing how many singers we will have and the distribution of voices is
key to picking the best possible music for this concert.
Anyway, something like that. Keep it upbeat. Focus only on the one
concert. Oh, and add that we need to hear back from folks ASAP since time
is shoet.

Understandably we all have Thursdays when other aspects of life takes
precedence, but if those able and willing to commit to a November 21
concert can speak up, it will help inform and guide us as plans are put
