Dear People,
Here's an update on the B2B (Beach to Beacon) event. First of all, the first
rehearsal is at 5:30 pm this Sunday at the Christian Science church.
Second, I'm afraid that the board has not done its best to communicate.
Although Leela, in a transcontinental phone call, agreed to direct us at the
event, we really felt we were twisting her arm. We felt bad about that. You
see, even before we were able to call Leela, we had already looked for someone
to sub for her, and when that person did get back with us and said she'd love
to do it, we said OK.
Because of the time pressure we sincerely believed Leela would be glad to hear
she didn't need to do this on such short notice (or get up so early on a
Saturday so soon after returning from India), but that was a mistake. We've
explained this to Leela and apologized. The person who will lead us for this
one event is Camille Saucier. She's enthusiastic and she will be very good with
the simple pieces we're going to sing (more on that later).
One last thing -- in addition to the two free meals and a chance to meet Joan
Benoit Samuelson, singers will get a free B2B t-shirt. We really do hope to see
everyone on Sunday.
Rory,
Russ,
